   11. One day during the penal times the soldiers were hunting a priest in Berehaven. They had hunted him a long way and they were sure of capturing him when they reached the bay thinking he could not cross it. But they were mistaken. The priest was riding a horse and when he reached the bay the horse rose up in the air and did not come down again till he reached the other side. The horse landed on the rock and was killed. The marks of his hoofs and knees are still to be seen. The priest fell out over the horse's head and the print of his hands are on the ground yet. He was then on the Bantry side and the soldiers on the Berehaven side so he escaped from them.
