    time and when they went out she bundled the blankets about her and followed them. They went across the field to the fort and on to the spot where the gold was supposed to be. The woman followed them but when she came to the fort she did not know where they were gone. The men were digging away very fast when all at once a big white thing came around the turn towards them. They ran away at once very frightened and terrified and they never went to look for it again.
