    And there they met their awful fate beneath the deadly swell
    IV
    O Lord! it was an awful sight when the boat and two were found
    Close to Bird Island that being near the fishing ground
    The other four poor fellows they met a watery grave
    May the Lord have mercy on their souls let all good Christians pray.
    V
    Now to conclude and finish I have no more to say.
    May the Blessed Virgin Mary pray for their souls this day.
    And may her Son the King on High their parents now console,
    Who are weeping for their darling men lost off Dunmanaus Shore.
    Written by Mary O'Sullivan
    Told by Mrs Mary Moynihan, Shountellig, 75 years.
