   The maid told her that she had burned a load of furze under it but could not get it to boil. She called the servant-man and asked him where he had got the water. He said 'from the blessed well'. She told him to carry it back again. When he went back with the water the well was quite dry. The well was never the same afterwards.

2. The Corpse in Boatstrand Harbour

   

   Roinn Roinn Postáil

   Long ago a ship was travelling from south Wales to Dungarvan with a cargo of coal. When she was about half-way on her journey a storm arose and she was tossed about like a cork on the mountainous waves which threatened to smack her into matchwood every moment. After a desperate struggle the crew managed to get her as far as Boatstrand but no farther. She floated about helplessly for a few moments and then sank like a stone before any assistance would have been given. All the bodies were found, however, except that of the captain who was a Dungarvan man. The people had been searching for three days but no trace of him could be found. Then on the fourth day the priest said Mass on the strand and just as Holy Mass was finished the captain's dead body came floating in.
