Summary

Griminish tacksman's wealth found after his death.

When the Griminish tacksman died, nobody could find his money. A servant was sent to the Baleshare tacksman to see if he knew anything about it. He stopped at a sheiling and fell asleep. When he awoke he saw a man stood over him and two deer fighting on the shore. The man told him the deer were two men from Baleshare who had fought and killed each other, and that they would fight in that form forever. The servant then recognised the man as the Griminish tacksman. He told him where to find the money and he returned.
