   priest's departure. The man told his wife about what he had met on his journey. She told him to go and tell the priest. He did so and the priest gave him a bottle of holy water, and told him to go to the place, and to take the holy water with him, and to make a circle around him with it, and to stand in the centre of it. He was not long there when the spirit came. She made several attempts to jump the ring, but it failed her. They both remained there until the cocks crew in the morning. She then said to the man, You man thank your priest for being saved.

   A few nights later, the priest met her at cross of Barnagh. He stopped her and asked her what was she doing there. She said she was in sin. He asked her what were her sins. She said, she was damned. She said she killed her husband. The priest said, that did not damn you. She said, I killed my unbaptised child. Ah, that is what damned you, said the priest. He then read read over her, and put her draining the sea, with a bottom-less cup. Where she is at present.

   Told by my father.
