There was a man in the townland of Skehane, and in the parish of Cappatagle and his name was Mr. Patrick Hardiman he used to make baskets and skibs.
   The people used also make candles. They were made in the following manner. First of all the people get rushes and cut them in nice lenghts. It is no use to cut them too long as they bend.
