    The third time the priest said "Begone Satan". The cat jumped from the table and disappeared up the chimney with a loud roar. The priest told the men that the cat was the devil.
    The men were never heard of again. The priest got home safe, and from that time onward the Brass Castle was called the Hell Fire Club.
    This story is true. It was told to me by mother, because the Brass Castle belonged to her ancestors.
