- (continued from previous page)a while they were about to leave, when one asked who would turn the body next and they shouted that Dan Farrell would, so Dan had to come from his hiding. To his great surprise there was a number of little men wearing red jackets. One of them told him to keep the body turned on the irons, and not let a blister rise on it, or if he did he would get the same himself. Dan faced the task, and they were not far gone, when he let a blister come on him. He lifted him off one side and ran away. Next day when he was passing the way he kept an eye for where the fire was lit, but there was no trace of fire, man or anything else.
