He found there was no spring water in the house and set off with his can to the well. The well was in an enclosed field. The night was fairly dark and he was picking his step along the path carefully. When half way between the road and the well he heard the galloping of horses coming towards him from the direction of Farrenmacfarrell House He could see nothing but the sound of the galloping came nearer and nearer.
