    was standing under this old tree one night. The tree was gone but it was the same place. He was very cold and he saw a man coming near him. The new comer said "Good night my man" and Doyle said something else.
    He was eating meat and he gave Pat a piece of it. Pat ate it and said it was nice. About a week after he got ill and he never was in good health after eating the meat.
