    (continued from previous page)
    party of people including some gentry were skating one night in the Lough when the ice emitted a loud noise like an explosion. It appears a thaw had set in, and to add to this danger, I heard there was a bonfire in the centre of the ice. There was wild panic among the skaters until they reached "terra-firma".
