- There was a man named John Kane. He lived in Bundoran about eighty years ago. He did heroic deeds in saving life. There was a boat worked three miles out in the water and he swam out to it and he saved two of the men. When there was anyone getting drowned he would save them if he could. There was a man drowning in Bundoran and he called for help and he jumped into the water and brought him safely to the shore.
