    II
    The potatoes were dug white but turned blue and rotted. It caused a Famine of hunger. The people used to come from Ballywilliam mountain to break stones in Ard-na-Sglitha on the Black-Road, and they used to get a pint of yellow meal every day. A day was appointed to get it in Ballyporeen. It was called Griffith's Yard where they got it. Hundreds of people were waiting at the gate for the bit of Charity.
