- Do tháinig seachtar duine déag ó Chíarraighe go Moyne láimh le Cill-Ruis, Co. an Cláir ar lá Fhéile Mhuire sa bFógmhair sa bhliadain 1893. Do chaitheadar an lá i gCill Ruis agus bhíodar cómh meisceamhail san go raibh eagla ar bheirt chailín dul abhaile leó. Do tháinig beirt eile go Dún Átha agus do chúadar abhaile le na daoine eile um tráthnóna. Níl fhios ag aoinne cad a thárla dhóibh acht do bádhadh iad go léir i n-aice le chósta Chíarraighe.
