He told them to come to the mill the night before the landlord would come and that he would stop him. They all collected up anxious to know how he could stop him. He told them to put their hands on the millstone and turn it backwards and while doing so he was saying some words out of a book. They commenced at twelve o'clock and as the commenced the landlord began to roar with pain.
