  1. (no title) (continued)

    Long ago there was a house outside Ballylongford and the sea came in and flooded it.

    (continued from previous page)
    the sea came in and flooded it. Next day a ship came in and threw out the anchor. The anchor went down the chimney and when they were pulling it up they pulled up the kettle of boiling water off the fire. Another ship came in and did the same, but when they were pulling up the anchor the man went up with the anchor and said "For goodness sake go away before you will kill myself and my family."
