    mentioned in the last. He found nothing but the leg of a pot. When he was near the tunnel he heard a cock crow at his ear. He looked around but could see nothing. He came out at one of the Woodfort lisses about 2 miles away. It is said that seven lights are seen at Lisses when anyone is going to die within two miles radius and a cock is said to crow in them at midnight.
    It is not right to interfere with these Lisses. Farmers don't ever plough or level them down.
