    search was begun, but it was of no avail. The search was abandoned. About a fortnight afterwards two men were working near the Shannon. They saw an object passing towards the Altantic. One man said "That might be Carmody's body". They got a boat and brought in the body and found a purse in it which contained the money. They buried the man, and gave the money to its owners.
    The oak will never rot as long as it is wet. The boat was made of oak, and the seaweed covered it so it is always wet. Hence the wreck is still to be seen.
