    not know the other man's name. James Pollock lived in Meenavoy, but he is dead now. James said to the man, you appear to be a strong man. Can you lift that large tomb-stone, he said "that he could and theres not another man from this to Derry can lift it." James said "go forward now and lift it." He lifted it a little bit off the ground. Then James tried and he said to the man get you up on top of it. James lifted it with the man on the top of it and he nearly tumbled the man off.
