The two brothers extricated the horse with great difficulty and John told Denis that a big black dog leaped over the wall at Derk gate and put his shoulder to one of the wheels of Denis's cart thereby preventing the wheel from turning around and causing the great trouble that was put on the horse but he was afraid to tell him what was wrong. They there untackled the horse and took him to a neighbouring field where he lay down and rolled himself. When he got up he appeared greatly refreshed so they put him under the load again and they reached Limerick without further trouble.
