"Carraigín" is up at "the Shantie" and about 3/4 of a mile from Foxford. Then it disappeared for about five minutes. The owner of the boat was Tony Myles and it appeared to him three times in succession. The third time it appeared the fisher got afraid he got his gun and shot at the coffin and then it disappeared.
