Summary
Two versions of a story about a beachcomber robbing the dead, and/or a live man.
George Campbell tells a story about a fisherman who was beachcombing at Sandwood Bay and found a body; he declared that whether the man's soul was in heaven or hell, his boots were coming with him. As Ina Campbell heard the story, he took a boot off a living man, but before he could take the second, the body gave him a kick - the man was not dead at all.
