- James Tigue of Carramore is the strongest man in that village.
One day he was in the bog cutting turf and he saw a crowd of people trying to pull a cart out of a bog hole. It had failed them all to pull it and also failed the horse. James walked up and pulled the cart out of the hole (l) himself.
