- Tady Kilrehil of Dromore was a great lobster-fisher. He used to get up early and be below at the sea before daybreak. He used to bring a bar of iron with him. He took off his shoes and trousers and went out in the water. He knew where there was a lobster-bed. He poked the bed with the iron and the lobster stuck to it with his claws. When Tady found it on the iron he took it up and killed the lobster. He often killed twenty lobsters at a time.
