“There was once a black man died in one of the ships...”
There was once a black man died in one of the ships in Bantry Bay and his comrades buried in a field beside the sea. In later years the sea washed the earth away near his grave and the bones of his feet appeared and there was a shoemaker in [Derynihan] who took one of the bones for scraping the leather and he died a week later proving that it is not right to touch the bones of a dead human being. - Collector
