- (continued from previous page)When she landed in Ireland she made her way to the place where she was directed to look for it. She got men to turn up all the stones where she thought it should be. It was all no good and in the end she got half the house knocked down and still could get no account of it.
In the end it was found out that the money was taken out of a bank by the old man that had died and had hidden it for his daughter. It was also found out that the builders of the house had found it. So nothing could be done about it. The girl had to go back again without getting anything. That finished the searching for the sovereigns.
