throughout Germany; but, although he had the ground dug
into until water streamed forth, no traces of these became manifest."

[EN#35]--Morris: Sigurd the Volsung, Bk. III.

[EN#36]--The Hoard.

The story of bringing the Hoard from Nibelungen Land belongs to the
later versions of the myth, and fitly closes the First Part of the
Nibelungen Lied. Lochheim, the place where the Hoard was sunk, was not
far from Bingen on the Rhine.
