“Once upon a time there was a man named Johnny Burke. ...”
Once upon a time there was a man named Johnny Burke. One day he went for a bathe and he got drowned. It was in the month of July 1925.
The people think that it was a cramp he got in his legs. They sent a diver to get him and when they found him he was drowned. It was in Turlough that he got drowned in a lake.
