    There were a four men out fishing in a boat in Lacken Bay one calm day. As they were fishing they saw a red object floating on the water and they went is as it to see what it was.
    It was a young child dressed in red garments and they took pity on it and took it into the boat. The child was not long in the boat when they grew rough and they had to throw the child into the water or they would be all lost.
