    Her name was Mrs Carry and she lived near Rossin, Slane. There is a house along the Boyne near Slane bridge and a man named Gibbons lives in it. One night when his father was dead he went out along the Boyne and he saw a thing like a white cat sitting in one of the boats and he began to call it for the cat. He was calling it for a long while and after a time it rose up and the he saw it was the Bean Si.
