- Story
There is an old fort at the back of my house in a field belonging to Mr. Edward Dooner. there is an old man 90 years of age who tells a queer story of this fort. He says that some years ago, the fort was all a big blaze of fire at night, and in the morning the bushes were the same as usual, and not burned.
The old man that told this story says he often saw the big blaze at night. He is Mr. John Roddy.
