Fairy tales -- Germany -- Translations into English
Such was the end of Will Hawk. Caspar went home a changed man. The
terrible experiences he had undergone were too much for his weak head
and sensitive heart and unsettled his mind. He allowed everything
belonging to him to go to rack and ruin, and wandered about day and
night, staring before him with unseeing eyes, and pitied but avoided
by all.
A fisherman is said to have seen and recognised Will Hawk, one stormy
night, amongst the crew of the Carmilhan, close to the shore, and on
the same night Caspar Stump disappeared and was never seen again,
although he was sought for in every direction.
Folks aver, however, that from that time forward the crew of the
Carmilhan appear at certain times in the Cavern of Steenfoll and that
both Will Hawk and Caspar Stump are seen with them.
