  1. The Rath (continued)

    (continued from previous page)
    often saw a crowd of boys and girls out dancing. When Mr. Millea came close to the rath they disappeared out of sight.
    Every night when the Millea family would be reciting the Rosary, the fairies would be pelting at them.
    Though we live quite near to this rath we never heard a sound of music or dancing, so the fairies must have all departed.
