    heard for miles away at ten o’ clock.
    All small boats at sea were blown all over the ocean with the wind.
    Crows were killed against trees and the herring were blown from this district to County Antrim. This wind was all over Ireland. This is the greatest wind we ever heard of.
    This story was told to me by Mr. Jim Fields and it was told to him by his uncle.
