Séamus O Dwyer who lived in Shyan, Kilmihil long ago was a great strong man. He used to gather rags, and sell them to Mrs Gilbert in Kilrush. Once upon a time he went to Kilrush, and he got a sack of flour from a man in Kilrush, on a bet, that if he brought the flour from Kilrush to Kilmihil on his back he would give it to him for nothing. He allowed him two rests on the way. He brought the flour to Kilmihil, and only made one rest at Corraclare Bridge.
