Had he not let go his hold they probably would have saved him by throwing him a rope or something else.He was carried off down the falls at Saint Scriobhaun's well, and his father who was at the time working with a man named Michael Murphy was informed that evening on his way home that his son was drowned.A search-party set out next day to look for him and he was found near Clondegad Bridge at Keane's side.His face was all black and bruised from the beating against the rocks and the flood was so high that a funeral coming up the road from Ballycorick had to go into Whitestone lawn to get up the Churchyard.Susan Browne
