- Martin Durkan lived in Curloman. He was the best swimmer in the village. He often swam the lake.
One day he was working in the meadow. It was a very hot day. He went home for his dinner.
Himself and other men went swimming. He swam down to where the lake and the river meet. The current caught him and drowned him.
The people got a boat and searched for him. He was found on the bank of the river a few yards below that.- Collector
