    About four years ago two boys went in a boat to a dance in Fermanagh. When they were out about half a mile the storm got worse and they lost an oar. They were drifted from shore to shore and could not get out of the boat. They were giving up hopes of being saved when the storm ceased and they got landing. Their names were Mchugh and McGrenery and it happened in the year ninteen thirty four.
