- There was a woman who lived in Pulleens taken by the fairies. Her husband went to Máire Ní Murchada. She told him that she was over in Kerry. She told him to get six of the strongest oar-men he could find and a good boat and that herself would go with them for her.
They got the men and the boat and Maire went with them. They went into the boat at 12 o'clock the next night and they landed in Kerry. Two men stayed in the boat and the other four men and Máire went to the castle of the fairies.
They got the woman inside in the castle all alone. They took her with them and put her in to the boat. They all went into the boat and it was then 3 o'clock.
Máire told them to pull as hard as they could.(continues on next page)
