Wrecked Bodies
“A long time ago the bodies of two sailors were washed ashore in a little creek in Pulleen Harbour about a mile from my house.”
A long time ago the bodies of two sailors were washed ashore in a little creek in Pulleen Harbour about a mile from my house. The creek was called "Cuadhas Árd". Like all sailors the name of their ship was written on their jerseys. The name that was written on their jerseys was "The Lhanehattan". The people that was living there in Gour at that time made graves for them on a sunny bench near the sea and buried them there. They marked their graves with two stones and that place ever since is call "the Lhanhattan".- You are not logged in, but you are welcome to contribute a transcription anonymously.
