  1. (continued from previous page)
    point there is an eel which has taken the shape of a woman-hoarding an urn of gold. Every Sunday she attends mass in Killaraght Chapel. The story goes on to say, that some Sunday that there is not mass in the above named church, she will have to go to Breedogue. In her absence the gold may be unearthened. So we'll live in hopefull antisipation that some-time perhaps, the cunning old eel may be out-done.
