- A Shipwreck.
On the twenty second of September eighteen hundred and seventy four, a British Revenue boat, named 'The Wasp' hit Swilly rock, a large rock at the mouth of Lough Swilly. It is said that there is a large stone on Tory Island called 'The Tory Stone' , that defends Tory from her enemies. If any person named the suspected ship and turned the stone round, the named ship was sure to sink. The race of people who had the power to turn the stone were named the Sweeneys.
