    ced. There were two men and a woman on her. One of the men whose name was Barrett was at the sail. He lost courage and he wasn't able to take charge of the sail. The other man then said he would do it. As he was walking towards the sail a squall came and he was thrown into the sea. He came ashore in Achill. The other two were drowned also. The woman came ashore in Cross and the man on the Carrowniskey strand. The boat came ashore safely and it was loaded with flour. Kerrigan's hooker was lost the 24th of June 1900.
