    The man was coming from Limerick and when he was near Boyle it was late in the night. A man with a white side car and a white horse passed him on the road. The man told him to sit up on the car, he did so. When they were an hour travelling they came to a beautiful house here he saw many strange people w with whom he had tea. They commenced travelling again, they were many hours travelling and when day light came he found him self in the same place as the car passed him the night before.
