- (continued from previous page)It was called "Dead man's Point" because it was from that point that the boat used to start on its way out to the Island. There were also some people buried on it.
- It was on Good Friday morning,
At the rising of the sun,
When neighbours going to market
Come flocking to the shore.
But fourteen of their number
Returned to them no more,
Between Ross Beg and Corry Point
We hoisted up our sail.
The wind blew from the north-west
We had a pleasant gale.
Row on my hearty comrades
The wind is getting strong
We rowed to the new quay
There we would cast our anchor until day.
Such a deadly slaughter in the county never was known(continues on next page)- Informant
