- (continued from previous page)not recover until two days. Another man called Jack Moran heard the story and made an effort to get the gold by digging under the bush. When he had dug for some distance the cat appeared and with a fierce look he tried to catch the man. The man ran home quickly and told his adventure to his people. That night he was about to sleep when he heard a noise and looking over at the window of his room he saw the cat. He was terribly frightened. The cat let three squeals and jumped down off the window. So from that onwards he had no power in his right arm. It was supposed that it was the cat that cursed him.
Maggie Ann Mullarkey I got this story from my Grandfather, Pat Mullarkey.
