  1. About forty years ago Mr Sandes house was in ruins. It is now owned by Mr Healy (has now was in ruins). He built the dwelling out of the stones. It was burned.
    About five years ago as my uncle was coming home from town in the night time at about one o'clock he saw the devil on the road. He stooped down. He saw that it was about four feet long. It had a big head with two big horns. When he said "Cush" he flew up on the trees.
    The next night he brought a big stick with him to find out if it was the devil or not.
