    No one knew why this stack stood, but the people believed that it was a big needle that kept it which was lost in it. Míchealín got the big needle again when he was given the oats to his cows for fodder.The herrings and other fish out of the sea, were washed up on the dry land.
    It blew the salt water over to this place,which was six miles away.
