    There are several lonesome places in the district. Beul na Leapa is known as one of them One night about twelve o'clock a man was coming home from town. As he approached Beul na Leapa he saw a small object coming towards him. He stopped on the road, and he took a steel knife from his pocket. He opened it and as he passed it he said "Good night Ma'am". The answer it made him was, "You have saved your life to-night."
