  1. Every one knows about the nuns of Bethlem being put out of their Convent by Crowells soldiers. It is said that news came to the nuns that the soldiers were coming and they sent all their precious stones and things to Inish-boffin and hid them secretly. It is said that they are still there is they could be found.
