    The head-master of England was spending his holidays at Rosse's Point.
    One day he came to fish in the river Bonet at Cloonaquinn on the sixth of September 1937. He went in wading and he had waders on and when he went into difficulties his waders filled full of water and he slipped into a hole sixteen feet deep and it was four days before the body was found.
