    (continued from previous page)
    Mickey Hussey of Banmore, Listowel (his grandchildren still live in Banemore) cured a woman near the "Half Way" - exactly half-way between Tralee and Listowel.
    This woman had an issue of blood, and was dying. Doctor could do nothing, the priest was implored to cure Mrs. Kirby, but failed.
    As a last resort her people sent for Mickey who immediately stopped the bleeding. The priest cursed Mickey for his interference.
    Mickey said that the words he said over the woman were those used by Moses crossing the Red Sea.
