- (continued from previous page)ship anchored near Bael waiting for the turn of the tide. When he hove up his anchor to go, a kettle of boiling water was on the hook of the anchor. The anchor went down one of the chimneys of the town that was covered with water and brought up a kettle of water on the hook.
On another occasion a little man appeared at the top of the anchor, and asked the boatman to haul up his anchor, because it was outside his door and his children could not come out.
