I heard Sai Baba performed a miracle for someone named Chand Patil. What exactly happened?

The story from Chapter 5 describes a significant encounter. Chand Patil, grieving the loss of his mare for two months, met a Fakir, who was Sai Baba, under a mango tree. The Fakir told him to search near the streams, and the mare was found immediately. Astonished, Chand Patil returned to the Fakir. Then, needing fire for a chillum, the Fakir thrust a pair of tongs into the earth and pulled out a glowing ember. This series of events made Chand Patil realize he had met a great saint, or 'Avaliya.'
