“A cuairdaidhe that used to visit his house every night got ill”
(continued from previous page)had already heard his friend was very ill and when he was approaching the house of the sick man he heard great crying. Thinking the man was dead, O Dea was doubtful of entering the house especially when he had not called sooner to see the sick man. Still as he came so far O Dea said to himself that he may as well call to sympathise. Entering the house O Dea found the man alive but not too well. He inquired of the people of the house if they were crying, and they told him they were not. A few days afterwards the man died. It was the beanshee O Dea heard.
