    Share Share Post
    A great swimmer. 15/6/1938
    There was a man living in a townland called Lisargool, whose name was Bartly Sharkey. This man was a famous swimmer.
    One time he swam from Aughlista to Lung, which is about two miles and a half.
    There were four comrades with him carrying his clothes and they had to run to keep up to him.
