“One night Mr. F. Mc. Loughlan was going home...”

My father Mr F. Hunt was telling me this story. One night Mr. F. Mc Loughlan was going home. When he was coming near Mr. Sherlock's field which is called the Raheen the fairies caught him and took him over Mr. Sherlock's fields and over Mr. O'Hanlon's fields and over Mr. O'Neill's bog.
