    After a time one of them was raised and a rectangular chamber was disclosed underneath.
    In it lay a skeleton with long flaxen hair and when touched it crumbled into dust.
    The men closed in the cave and looked at the other which contained the skeleton of a tall man like a Dane with long hair and it in waves.

    Once upon a time there was a farmer who lived in Gleneely the name of Eddie McLaughlin who had a cow just newly calved.
