- 169Hidden Treasures.One time there was hidden treasuere near the Slaney. There was a cave down there, and a man went to get the treasure. There were steps down to this cave, and in this cave, there was a small table, and on the table there was a horn. When the man heard of the treasure he went to get it. There was a soldier resting by the table with his hand under his head.
When the man went down to the cave, he saw the soldier and he got afraid and ran out of the cave. It is said that if he had taken the horn and blown it the soldier would have given him the pot of gold which was hidden down in the cave.The above was told to me by
