    (continued from previous page)
    was working in a farmer's house in Currens, the sow had bonhams, and she had to stay up all the night minding them.
    She had nothing to do, so she made bread, and she put it on the griddle and she heard a big voice saying "Mary O'Sullivan your cake is burning" she looked around and she saw nobody, she ran to the woman of the house and said to her "I will stay here no longer".
    So she went away, after a time she went across to America, a week afterwards she died there, and she was never heard of again.
