Summary
A man named the ghosts of unbaptised children and laid them to rest.
Jeemsie Laurenson's grandfather Gilbert was saving wood on the beach at Gruting when he heard two children wailing and crying. He saw two naked little boys, who said they were crying because they had died without getting a name. So Gilbert named them Joseph and Benjamin and they disappeared.
