- (continued from previous page)Seán killed him. He came out then and followed the curate and when he was crossing a river the priest flung the spear back at him and killed him. He was buried in Ballintubber and a tree grew over his grave and turned down over the grave in order that no one would kneel on his grave.
- There was a giant in a house near Aughagower. He used to kill all the people he got up to. One time a boy went into a giant's house with an axe and got the giant sleeping. He cut the head of the giant and buried him in the mountains of Curvey.
