(a) One night during the Civil-war Liam and a company of the boys were travelling through a district in West Cork. They reached a cross-roads when suddenly a priest appeared as if out of nowhere.
"Turn back" said he "turn back" They considered among themselves and decided to take him at his word They had only gone back a short distance when three lorries of military passed by the cross. They were thankful to God who had sent this priest either living or dead to protect them.- Informant
