    Once there lived a man in Kiltullagh.

    (continued from previous page)
    dug a hole under the wall.
    As they were getting up through the floor of the room the women cut the heads off them with an axe.
    Then she went on a hill and she blew three whistles and her husband was at Ballinlough and he heard the whistles and hurried home.
    After that they lived in Castlerea and the house became one of St. Patrick's Churches.
