His brother Phil had to draw the charge and empty its contents letting some of the boiling wash fall into his boot and scalding his foot severely.

He started running through the bog with the still on his back and they followed in pursuit for 300 perches until he came to the new canal that was cut for the purpose of boating turf seperating the "Páiste Bán".
