Notes
{{tr|E. Sidney Hartland}}
"The following story was narrated by John Williams, collier, of Tavern-y Banwen, near Neath, on the 26th June last, to Mr. Llywarch Reynolds, of Merthyr Tydfil, Mr. David Lewis, barrister-at-law, and myself. It was told in Welsh, and copious notes were taken on the spot by Mr. Lewis, who afterwards read them over again to me. Mr. Lewis has also kindly compared the following (which was written the next morning from memory) with the notes in question, and corrected it by them" (The Folk-Lore Journal)
