  1. (no title) (continued)

    About fifty years ago, a crowd of men were out fishing and a storm arose, but all of them were saved but one man.

    (continued from previous page)
    the fairies would kill him.
    The night came, and his wife tried to pull him off, but he turned into a rat first and then a lion, and the terrified woman let him go.
    Then the fairies ran away with him and killed him on the rock on the street. His blood is still to be seen on the wreck.
