    brought in some of the water of the holy well into the house to make tea. He told them that none of the water was ever used for making tea or for any other household purpose. They did not seem to believe him. They put down the water to boil. It did not boil and they told him they were very sorry when they saw what happened.
    They fetched some water from another well in the locality and it boiled all night.
    From Con Normoyle, Rour, Adare (55 years)
