    where no horse never went so far down then he met a lot of people they tried to take the horse and hides from him. One man said that the horse was not his, that he got the horse on the ship.
    There was a man by name of James Lavelle from Dunkinella also. The coast-guards were letting people aboard and he was up and he got the captain's watch, he went home and the same year he went to England. He went into a public house in England and he asked the publican £21 for the watch and he got it. He came home and never went to England after that.
    The old boat got broken and the big anchors are to be seen lying on the beach still.
