    Forty years ago there was a boat lost in Claragh Lake. There were three men going out to fish on a Sunday evening They lost the oars and the boat turned over.
    They were driven out to the middle of the lake and although there were men on the bank nothing could be done to save the drowning and so they sank to the bottom and were drowned.
    Some years ago the boat was found and it was nothing the worse.
