- "Tom the Yard" was a man who lived at Port. One day he went into Mr. Mathews in Dunleer to buy a shirt. He had bought a shirt there about six months before.
Mr Mathews was praising the shirt he said he had fast colours and that it had good material in it. He said it was a better one than he had got before.
When he was parceling up the shirt Tom told him to parcel it up well because the buttons fell off the last one when he was bringing it home.
