   A small boat was passing down a pass Dursey long ago. She had a cargo of butter. She ran into a thick fog and lost her way. She struck a cliff on the north side of Dursey Island a little east of Maoil. She was broken up and ferkins of butter fell out. The Dursey people saved a lot of butter. The Cliff is called " Faill an Ime " but it isn't known whether it had the name before this happening or not.
