    (continued from previous page)
    gathered the sand and began his task but the sand was breaking all the time. The devil asked his Lordship could he put manure through the sand but Lord Luttrell said " No! you must make it out of the sand only" The devil had failed so Lord Luttrell got off free.
    Every single part of the mill stands on the Liffey.
    It is supported in the water by big pillers. The mill is owned by Shackletons who are Quakers. The first Mr Shackleton's name was Abraham, he was national school teacher and he thought Edmond Burke in Balintore on the borders of Kildare and Wicklow.
