    there was a great fishery in this place. They saw a boat 2 feet long with two men 7 inches high.
    The men told Gabhadh to go ashore, that there was a foul sea outside.
    Gabhadh laughed at him. Next morning there was nothing to be seen along the shore from Easkey to Aughris but a line of corpses. Ever since there was no fishery here.
