    Soon afterwards the man had the dream again about the gold and this time he became anxious about the gold. He was urged again to go so he gave his consent although he had promised the ghost that he would not go. The day before he was to go he was working in the quarry as usual. A strange feeling came over him and when he rose the hammer to break stones he was struck by a splinter of stone and died suddenly. No attempts have been made to unearth it since.
