    smith's tongs is shorter than the other. The smiths took a piece of money from his pocket and beat it into the finest broach that was ever seen.
    Our Lady took the broach and thanked the smith and gave him her blessing. Ever since then a smith who washes in the water which cooled his irons find himself refreshed and made stronger. The smith has a cure for the yellow jaundieu. James Egan's grandfather made a pike and it is still to be seen at his grandson's Martin Egan.
