CDXLVII • THE MILL THAT SALTS THE SEA
The Devil one day gave a sorcerer a mill which would grind whatever was asked of it, but a Newfoundland captain stole it from him to take on his ship. Arriving offshore, he ordered it to grind salt, and the mill obeyed so well that the hold was soon filled to overflowing. Alas, the captain not knowing the magic formulas to make it stop, the ship sank and the mill continued to salt the sea more and more.
CDXLVII • THE EVIL MASK
The Devil gave Princess Dahut, the daughter of King Grallon, master of the city of Is, an evil mask, which she offered to each young man she liked and who came to join her at night, thus hidden. But the next day the mask tightened and suffocated him... a black man then took the corpse and threw it at the bottom of a precipice between Huelgoat and Poullaouen...
