   about it.

   The search continued for three days.
   On the third night the man went to his pocket for matched and found the ciaróg in the box.
   He let him go.

   Scéalta 6-12-1937 Oidhche amháin bhí Seán Ó Brúdar ag teacht abhaile go Rath-Éilighe ó Thobar Pheadair. Bhí sé a dó dhéag a clog agus bhí an oidhche an dorcha. Mar sin féin ní raibh faithchíos ar Sheán bheith amuigh an t-am sin den oidhche mar níor chreid sé go raibh aon phúca, ach níorbh fhada gur chreid sé é. Nuair a bhí sé ag teacht i n-aice le’n a theach chonnaic sé bean agus í ag siubhalgo mall, réidh roimhe. Bhí culaith bán uirthi agus cheap Séan gur bhean éigin a bhí ag iarraidh scannradh a chur air. Shiubhail sé go tapaidh chun teacht suas láithi le féachaint cé a bhí ann acht nuair a tháinig sé i bhfoisgeacht cúpla slat di bhreathnuigh sé go géar uirthi agus baineadh geit an t-saoghail as nuair a chonnaic sé nach raibh aon ceann uirthi. Thuit sé i laige nuair a shíl sé rith agus bhí sé ar an mbóthar ar feadh i bhfad. Nuair a tháinig sé chuige féin chuaidh sé abhaile agus is ar éigin a bhí sé i ndon, bhí sé chomh lag sin leis an ngeit a baineadh as. Seán Ó Brúdair, Rath-Éilighe, Tobar Pheadair. 63 bl.
