   time came there were no potatoes at the stalks.
   The corn crop was very good but it had to be sold to pay the rent. People died of starvation and the only food was Indian meal. The children were always crying for something to eat. A family of seven who lived in Innishammon all died of hunger save one.
   Some men got work but they were too weak after fasting for a long time. On every road in this district there were two or three people lying dead. A story was told once about two men who went out to dig a field of potatoes. They started at eight o'clock in the morning. They said they would let a cheer for every potato they would get.
   When night came they had only let ten cheers, so that they only got ten potatoes for their day's digging. This story shows the badness of the potato crop during the famine.
