  1. (continued from previous page)
    houses were built in their places.
    There are many bogs in my district but are not very large or useful. In one of these bogs which is called the "big bog" many foxes have their dens and the huntsmen have an exciting hunt after them every Sunday.
    There are no large rivers near my home and this is strange considering I live close to the sea. The Mourne Mountains lied to the North while a their feet lies Carlingford Lough dividing us from the County Down.
