    Frank says that the Danes know how to make heather Beer. There were three Danes, a father and two sons who only knew the secret. They were being forced to give up the secret. The father said he was ashamed to give away the secret before his two sons and asked that they be the first put to death. When this was done the old Dane said "Now you may kill me and the secret dies with me"
