  1. Some time ago men were putting up hay in a field in Cam. A fairy wind came and took away the hay. A man threw his hat after it. He said it was lucky to do that - that the fairy wind wouldn't do any harm, but when the wind settled there was a boy gone with it. One night when the boy's father was going by Pat Cunningham's fort, he heard fairy music, he went into the fort and found the boy.
