    Long ago six men from Rossmicowen[?] went out fishing by night. As they were fishing they were also drifting.They came to a rock and the name of it was, Tig Fé Thallam. They could not see the rock because it was under water. There was a great whirl-pool over that rock, and when they came to it they went down. There was a cave below, and it is supposed that they went into it. Anyone of the six were never seen again.
