“There lived in Crosspatrick some years ago a man named Joe Brennan and one night when he was in bed he was wakened with three knocks on the mantlepiece but he did not mind he heard it again and he did not mind it, but when he heard it the third time he go”
(continued from previous page)he heard it again and he did not mind it, but when he heard it the third time he got up and dressed himself. Then he went down the road, when he came to Kennedy's cross he stood for a few minutes and something told him to go on so he kept going until he came to a big deep dyke and their he found a horse and car turned over and under it he found a man caught between the car and the ditch, and very near dead so he relieved him and took him home.
