    daughter saw what they had done she jumped into the sea and drowned herself. The three Rourkes came ashore and took possession of the Castle.
    The fishermen in those times were killing a lot of herring and every morning when they would have to give a divide to Bourke. There came a boy from Bailebeag. He asked the fishermen to bring him out for the night. In the morning when they came in they went making a divide for Bourke. The boy struck Bourke and beat him. There were no more divides made for Bourke any more.
