- Patrick Breen, publican, Croom, told me that "Lady Rock, all dressed in white, crossed the River Maigue in Islanmore to where Maxwell's steward was in charge of the men - The river encloses Islanmore domain on two sides - She - Lady Rock - warned the steward about his method of dealing with the men and then she disappeared. The steward did not improve his manners. Some nights later the steward, having wound up his gold watch, hung it at the head of his bed into which he was going, when a shot rang out and the gold watch dropped in pieces on the floor.
