  1. Long ago once in Malahide there was a bungalow swept off the banks. While some men were rooting for some things out of the sand, they found some big bones and they thought that they were bones of an Elk. Many naturalists came from the Museum and examined the bones and while the naturalists were examining the bones one man shouted out that long ago"his father buried his ould horse there."
