- One day there were two men working in this parish Herbertstown. There was a woman living near the place where they were working and she was very much given to pisheógues. The men said that they would go into her for their dinner. They had their own bread, tea and sugar but they had no milk.
They went in and she said that she would give them milk very soon. One of the men who was seated at a table turned round and he saw the woman milking a white cow in the corner near the fire. This was such an unusual thing to see that the men got afraid and they went away.
The woman got sick and she went to bed and died in a couple of days after.
