    not succeed in getting it on that night, but they went another night, and carried on their work. They had not long been digging when a tall mancame up to them and told them that a life should be lost over it, but they did not put much seem in him. After a while a big dog came up to them adn put them back from it. Again they went and dug, but they had not been long digging when a horseman came riding up to them adn swung a sword all round him and hit an old man in the hand and cut it off. They fled and did not succeed in getting it.
