Draco the Great caused the relics of St. Orberosia to be transferred to Alca. The body of the blessed saint had been buried in a grotto on the Coast of Shadows at the end of a scented heath.
The villagers tremblingly knelt with their faces to the round. And several of them used to say that angels, whom it would be death to see, passed along the roads of the island in the night time.
