o eat, are alive, as that a man who has been gibbeted eight
days is not dead." No sooner had he spoken than the two pullets actually
rose up alive. The alcayd[^e] was frightened out of his wits, and was
about to rush out of doors, when the heads and feathers of the birds
came scampering in to complete the resuscitation. The cock and hen were
taken in grand procession to St. James's Church of Compostella, where
they lived seven years, and the hen hatched two eggs, a cock and a hen,
which lived just seven years, and did the same. This has continued to
this day, and pilgrims receive feathers from these birds as holy relics;
but no matter how many feathers are given away, the plumage of the
sacred fowls is never deficient.

[Asterism] This legend is also seriously related by Bishop Patrick,
_Parable of the Pilgrims_, xxxv. 430-4. Udal ap Rhys repeats it in his
_Tour through Spain and Portugal_, 35-8. It is inserted in the _Acta

Santiago.

=Pilgrim= (_A Passionate_), American who visits England, as one seeks the
home he has loved throughout a tedious exile. It is like the return of a

Passionate Pilgrim_.

This is supposed to be a dream, and to allegorize the life of a
Christian, from his conversion to his death. His doubts are giants, his
sins a pack, his Bible a chart, his minister, Evangelist, his conversion
a flight from the City of Destruction, his struggle with besetting sins
a fight with Apollyon, his death a toilsome passage over a deep stream,
and so on.

The second part is Christiana and her family led by Greatheart through
the same road, to join Christian who had gone before.

=Pilot= (_The_), an important character and the title of a nautical
burletta by E. Fitzball, based on the novel so called by J. Fenimore
Cooper, of New York. "The pilot" turns out to be the brother of Colonel
Howard, of America. He happened to be in the same vessel which was
taking out the colonel's wife and only son. The vessel was wrecked, but
"the pilot" (whose name was John Howard) saved the
