- One day as a Mr. O'Dowd was walking near the sea of Moyne he saw a maiden come out of the water riding on a beautiful horse. She carried a wand in her hand. She came up and asked Mr O'Dowd some questions. He asked her to go home with him to a dinner and during the dinner he took her wand and hid it in a stack of corn. After a while they got married and had three children. One day the children told their mother that they saw their father hiding something in the stack of corn. She tumbled the stack and she found the wand in it. She took the three children to the sea and turned them into three rocks. She disappeared into the sea and was never seen again.
