    The well in Tallagh
    There was a blessed well in Tallagh once. It was along the shore. But it changed (?) out into the sea. Some person washed his feet in the well, and on that account it changed (?) out and boiled up in the sea. It was not right for a person to wash his feet in the blessed well. The well is to be seen boiling up there yet.
