The soldiers use to come often and give him a swing for sport, and leave him swinging away for himself. All the doors were shut that day, you wouldn't see a head out the door. In the evening they took him down and carried him off to Tralee in a car, but they lost him above at Shea's height in Clountubrid. They turned back and found him again and carried him off.
