ANTIQUITILL—Some fishermen have found, in the bay
of the small port of Asciili, an iron chest, three feet and a
half long. On opening it they found a long head of heir,
a gauntlet, and a few piecxs of an ancient sabre. It is
thought that these spoils must have belonged to some
Galician or Scandinavian dwarf. Thome nations, in fact,
used to enclose, in iron or steel chests, the hair and anus
of a warrior killed in battle, and throw them into the sea.
It was an honour reserved to their first geuemls.....NlC es If
