    (continued from previous page)
    "Get the holy water" said the girl to the little boy. He got the holy water, and threw it on her. She dissappeared at once, and was never seen again. The woman went to Kenmare a few days after. She met a woman who was a great friend of hers, and the woman told her that a woman told herself. that she had this woman's butter for five years.
    From that day off the calves lived, and they were able to make their churns. It was said that the other woman had taken the butter by a charm she had set.
