    (continued from previous page)
    down in the bog - hole and if he had a stick he would get more. Then the man asked him to put himself into the bog - hole till he would get calves so they went to it and he put him into a bag and gave him a stick. He told him to hit the first jobber he would meet with the stick and he would show him where the calves are and then he threw him into the bog - hole.
