- (continued from previous page)girl. In those days the people were in dread of the fairies. It happened that the young woman went out one night for the cows and did not return. The husband and neighbours searched everywhere but could not trace her. Sometime after appeared to him in a dream. She told him that she would be passing by the door on a certain night at twelve o'clock on a white horse with five others. She told if that if he succeeded in putting the pot-hooks round her neck she would get back to him, but if not that she would be killed. The man was ready on that night but failed to put the pot-hooks round her neck and she fell from the horse and was killed.
