  2. One time there was a young man home from Scotland on holidays, and one day he took a boat and crossed Lough Egish he wanted to see Chapel Mile (Moyle). When he looked over the ruins of the chapel he came home and when he was halfways out on the lough the boat sank and the man sank along with it. The people did not mind him for one day and when they started to look for him they did not know where the boat went down. Then after the ninth day they saw the body floating on the top of the water. That happened about the year 1870. This man was stopping with Mr. McKean at Laragh on his holidays.
