    7th November 1938
    The man who was drowned in Aonac.

    Long ago there lived in Aonac a man and his wife. They were very poor and seldom they had enough to eat. They had nothing to live in but a small house made of brooks.
    One night the man went out fishing. He was out very late and his wife got afraid. When it became dark she went down to the door and said "Mhuire Mhuire Mhuire where is my man." Then she heard some-body outside saying it after her and she came up to the fire.
    She went down again and said the same thing. Someone said it after her again.
