    Fuair mé an sgéal seo ó Brigid O Donnell, duine de na cailíní a bhí sa teach in Annach an oidhche údh. Tá sí beo fós. Tá sí ina cómhnuidhe i bPollach. Máire Nic an Bheathaigh.

    A true story about Annah.
    --------------------
    On(e) May 1st 1896 the people went to Slievemore with the cattle. They always went in the month of May because the cattle wanted a change.
    One night after milking the cows, three women went for a walk as far as Annach Strand. Their friends were at the salmon-fishing there, they had a house to sleep, and cook in a room and a kitchen.
    There was a big window in the room.
