- (continued from previous page)Mulcahy, went to cut up an ash tree in Cooper's land, for the knees of a boat. When they started to cut one end of the tree, Cooper sat on the other end of it, and when they went to the other end, he sat on the opposite end. They had to go away and leave the tree there.
- One day three men namely. "Da" Rourke, "Banuidhe" Murray and Ned Mulqueen, went in a boat to cut reed in the Shannon. They had no sooner started to cut the reed, when they heard something coming through the reed. It was Cooper, who was dead, and one of the men was so frightened that he fell down on the bottom of the boat. The whole place was shaking. After a while the shaking stopped, and they landed safe. The men told the people that they never heard such shaking in all their lives.
