  1. There was a man named OMalley ploughing our near Coushlough. The plough struck a little barrel of gold. The horses frightened and ran around the field. He threw a roap beside the barrel so that he would know the place when he would come back again after catching the horse. Then he followed the horses and when he came back there were a thousand bits of ropes where he let the one, and he could not find any barrel after that.
