    (continued from previous page)
    he disappeared and never was seen again. On another occasion he showed his power also.
    One evening he was walking down the road and three men came along on a side cart. He asked them for a seat and they never let on to hear him only struck the horse and drover harder. He said "You won't go much farther" so they only went a few yards before him when the car broke down under them.
    When he got as far as them he said "Ye would be farther on if ye gave me a seat".
