An odd feature in the story is that no one is able to
tall exactly the scone of the occurrence. The 'report
that Solway Ash was the spot was moon contra-
dicted, as more than one credulous parson paid a visit
to that village, but could glean no intelligence. Than
as an Mlle Crewkerne was hinted at, and lastly Chard
and Yeovil. No news could be gleaned from either
' quarter, and at last those who were the most staunch
believers in the authenticity of the tale are now the
first to treat the whole as a fabricated fable.
