  1. Three men arranged to go to hunt in a graveyard to hunt for rabbits. Two of them went and they called at the other man's house and the people said, he was not in, and they proceeded on themselves to the graveyard. They had two dogs and after hunting in the graveyard caught some rabbits. It was a fine bright moonlight night. The two men were in shade of an ivy bush. They heard noise of a fool three times on a rock, and they could see nothing. They got a fright and they came to the conclusion it was not right and they went home. They never went to hunt in the graveyard any more.
