    A Wonderful Story
    1. There was a man by the name of Patrick Burke and as he was crossing the calaghs he missed of his path. At that time there was no road on it. When the man came to the bridge he staggered and fell in, at that time there was no hand- railing on the bridge.
    2. This accident happened about 60 years ago. The man who was drowned was about 60 years of age. All his friends kept searching until they found him about the middle of the night. This man lived in Lisduff.
