    A ship once came to Dungarvan harbour. It was a very stormy night about the middle of December six years ago. There were two girls about five years old in it. They were tied with a rope and they could not stir. It is said that they were lock-jawed. The man of the ship thought they were some. Where in France. The two girls were sent to hospital, and they got well again after a fortnight.
    In the year 1929 a man ran through a burning house to wake the people of the house. He was burned to death and all the people were saved.
