    (continued from previous page)
    She used to be always about Derrakeel Derrawee and Rearower and round south Galway gathering food and other things for herself. She used have a basket of hens and herbs and a cock for crowing. She would ask for tobacco and the people used to give her some. She had a clay pipe with a chain tied to the lid of it. She used often sleep with my grandmother's mother and she is alive yet.
