    during that night.
    Next day the sun shone brilliantly and the sea was very calm. All the dead lay resting on the beach near the Rabbit Burrow. Twenty of them were buried in Drumcannon grave-yard and most of them were (layed) laid to rest in the Rabbot Burrow. It is said that on a stormy evening [one] could hear the piteous cries and the playing of the band.
    After this the "Metal Man" was erected as a guide to ships warning them of the dangers of these rocks.
