    It is said that there has been many shipwrecks off the Morriscastle coast Kilmuckridge Gorey, Co. Wexford many years ago. It is said that there was one ship which was almost broken.
    Most of the men which were on it escaped, but there was one man who injured and could not escape.
    He brought the ship almost to land and the coast Guards went to rescue him. They were going to send rocket out, but one man told them not to for they would kill the man, but they did not take his advice and they killed the man. They afterwards went out and brought him in.
