  1. (continued from previous page)
    went along a passage and saw alot of rabits scurring here and there. When theyw ere very far in they heard lonesome music playing, something like the cry of the "bean-sidhe."
    The marched in dauntlessly and boldly never stopped until they broke out at the "Portach". Then they knew that the underground passage was leading from the "Portach" to the pond of water in the "Pond-field". The "Bean-sidhe" is often heard near the "Portach" so it said that she lives in that underground passage.
