  1. (continued from previous page)
    six o clock in the morning the corpse disappeared.
    When the woman came back in the morning he told her what had occurred during the night. The woman was very pleased with her visitor and offered him her daughter in marriage for his bravery.
    This story was told to me by my father who is now sixty years old. He heard it from his father who lived in Four-Mile-Water, Co. Waterford.
