- One night two men went to an island for cattle. It was very late. They saw a motor coming out the strand. It had very big lights at first but they were getting smaller as they came near. At last the lights went out. After that it was lighting every minute and disappearing again. One man of the two had a gun and he was going to have a shot at it but the other would not let him. They could not bring home the cattle so they left them there and they went home very much afraid.
