When they went to see what had happened they found that a large tree had fallen on the house and had crashed through Mary's room.
    They all believed then that Mary's life had been saved by the Priest's warning. The following morning Mary went home ill. She told her mother what she had seen. When she described the Priest her mother told her that it was Father Curran who had saved her.
