    “One time a man was going to America.”

    Share Share Post
    One time a man was going to America. As the boat was coming down Donegal Bay it stuck on a sandbank. The place happened to be within sight of this man’s home. He was very homesick or [?] a lump of long.” so he jumped out and swam home. His brother then went on his ticket.
