Soon after, they went;
but, being afraid, took a third man with them. They began digging at eight, and after they
had dug six feet, saw the top of a coffer, or chest. But presently it sank down into the earth;
and there appeared over the place a large globe of bright fire, which, after some time, rose
higher and higher, till it was quite out of sight. Not long after, the man and woman appeared
again, and said, 'You spoiled all, by bringing that man with you.’ From this time, both they
and Sarah and Mary J--, who live in the same house with them, have heard, several times
in a week delightful music, for a quarter of an hour at a time. They often hear it before those
persons appear; often when they do not appear.” They asked me whether they were good
or bad spirits; but I could not resolve them.
