Ours, I forget whether Amthor’s or Trautwein’s, said there was regular communication between Oberriet and Feldkirch, and nothing could be further from the fact, as will be seen a few pages later. 23 If Pfäffers is visited by rail (see p. 23), it is convenient to take it before Feldkirch. 24 See further quaint details and historical particulars in Vonbun, 25 Vonbun, pp. 113–4. 26 Historical particulars in Vonbun, pp. 110–1. 27 Vonbun, pp. 86–7. 28 It may also be reached by railway as it is but three or four miles from Ragatz, two stations beyond Buchs (p. 13). 29 It has been suggested by an eminent comparative mythologist that it is natural 30 The traitor was loaded with heavy armour and thrown over the Ill precipice.

The anniversary is regularly observed by visiting the graves on August 14; mentioned below at Le Tezze. 39 Following are the names of the fourteen, but I have never met any one who could explain the selection. 1.
