'THE HACK AND CAST'

A GIANT FALLS ILL THROUGH EATING SOME BAD FOOD. HIS MOANS ARE HEARD FOR MILES AND REACH A NEIGHBOURING VILLAGE. THE DOCTOR IS SUMMONED ,BY A MESSENGER, TO VISIT THE GIANT AND ON DISCOVERING THE WRITHING CREATURE HE DECIDES THAT IT MUST BE KILLED. THE DOCTOR TELLS THE GIANT THAT IT MUST BE BLED AND THE GIANT CONSENTS. HE LAY WITH HIS ARM EXTENDED OVER A GREAT HOLE IN THE CLIFF AND LET THE BLOOD FLOW INTO IT. HE FELT BETTER AND ALLOWS THE BLOOD TO CONTINUE FLOWING. HOWEVER, HE SOON BECOMES WEAKENED, AND EVENTUALLY BECOMES SO WEAK THAT THE DOCTOR IS ABLE TO KICK HIM OVER THE CLIFF, AND KILLS HIM.

THE WELL-KNOWN PROMENTORY OF THE DEAD MAN, OR DODMAN (IN CORNWALL) IS SO CALLED FROM THE DEAD GIANT. THE SPOT WHICH HE FELL IS THE "GIANT'S HOUSE", AND THE HOLE HAS EVER SINCE BEEN MOST FAVOURABLE TO THE GROWTH OF IVY.
