- (continued from previous page)And there they met their awful fate beneath the deadly swellIV
O Lord! it was an awful sight when the boat and two were found
Close to Bird Island that being near the fishing ground
The other four poor fellows they met a watery grave
May the Lord have mercy on their souls let all good Christians pray.V
Now to conclude and finish I have no more to say.
May the Blessed Virgin Mary pray for their souls this day.
And may her Son the King on High their parents now console,
Who are weeping for their darling men lost off Dunmanaus Shore.Written by Mary O'Sullivan
