    him. The Travelling woman explained them the exact spot where the Gold could be found. They both set out one night armed with the Holy Water and shovel and spade & pick-axe.
    They had only just begun to dig when they heard such a roar from a Bull that they thought the rocks were falling asunder. Sheehan sprinkled the Holy water and nothing happened them but they saw nothing only heard the awful roaring. Again they attempted to dig and the roaring increased in intensity. Sheehan kept sprinkling the Holy Water and he kept asking Sullivan to give up and come home.They both finally decided to run for their lives and left the gold and implements behind.
