    Máire an t-Seachráin
    Bhí Eamonn a Curráin agus a bhean Anna, go ndeanaidh Dia mhaith orra uilig na gcomhnuidhe thíos annso ar an Mullachdearg. Bhí án-dúil ag Eamonn choir bhéith amuigh le na ghunna ag seilg fa chladach agus is iomda mac-alla a bhain an gunna cheadna as sean bheanna an chladaigh an uair sin. Nuair a d'eirighead Eamonn tuirseach de bhéith ag ruaigeadh fa'n chladach bheireadh sé ruaig trásna loch Mhullachdearg anonn go Ailt Sheáin Uí Dhomhnaill ait a rabh cearca fraoich, lacháin, crochaigh[?] agus gearrfiadhacha go fairsing ann.
    Maidin amháin i dtús an fhoghmhair, deirigh Eamaonn le bánú an lae agus thug aghaidh ar an ailt. Maidin dheas chiúin bhí ann agus an ghrian go direach ag eirigh i gcúl na gcnoch nuair a shroic Eamonn an Ailt. Ar theacht do go bun na h-áilte, shiubhal sé leis go faithchillidhe mar ni rabh fhios aige caide'n bomaite a sgiordadh éan no gearrfiaidh no coinín thart. Síos cóis na locha bhí sé ag tarraingt nuair a tchí sé an tóirt na luighe imbeal sgealpaigh fa chupla shlat do imeall na locha.
