  1. There is a fort near our house, it is situated on top of a high hill and there is a wall round it. I heard my mother say that in older times, men used be working near it, and they sat down by the side of it, they had no tobacco and one of them said, I wish we had a smoke, when they looked down at the ground again, they saw a fine piece of tobacco at their feet, and they had a fine smoke.
