    The body of the dead man was hidden under the overhanging bank of the stream.
    Later the man's regiment came back, but could not find the body.
    It is said they would have burned every house in Currycramp were it not that the landlord, Crofton, persuaded them to desist by pointing out that the loss would be his.
    H. D Murray,
