    Long ago an old ship called the Lusitania was torpedoed off the Irish Coast. This happened on Friday May 7th 1915. There was over 1000 lives lost. No body could do anything to save it.
    In the year 1933 there was a great fire over in Tiermaclane. It happened by night. It was a public house and it was slated and it is thought that it was set fire with petrol.

    None of the people were injured. It was done meliciously.
