They say the girl that was carried away by what was
supposed to be the devil from the
bonfire of Nash on
St. John's night about 80 years ago, took the wooden crosses

bonfire dance. She threw the crosses on
the
bonfire.
III. The writer knew a nice young girl who was making
a short cut across the graves of St. Stephen's cemetery instead
of going round by the paths. She stumbled and fell over a
grave, and from that hour to the day she died, not long
ago, she was lame - badly lame and doctors could do
nothing for her.
