It was at that time, too, a poor family found a sack of meal lost near Tureencahill (Co. Kerry) and hid it in the bog. Every night the man of the house stole to the bag and brought a little can of meal to feed the family and that put them over the 'bad times'. The bog was named Bogac na Mine - now or since 1896 it is called the Moving Bog, and is sometimes referred to as the Bog of the 'Male' There was terrible famine in the Tureens - the Crown Lands - and the Government sent several families to America.
