    the middle of the night an animal came which resembled a pig very much. He drew his sword and cut him in two halves. From that out the graves were opened no more. The animal is said to have come from the deep part of the sea. There was a stone erected by the people with he picture of the animal on it and he cut in two halves in memory of the deed.
