    (continued from previous page)
    The women of Whiddy about fifty years ago were very great oarswomen.
    There lived in Kilmore two girls named Ellen and Bessie Goggin. Their father was a fisherman, and had a big four - oared boat, and the two girls used row the boat with their father and brother, every morning and evening, shooting and hauling hake tramels, and other nets in all kinds of weather.
