    to be hanged, one of his executioners said 'We must put a cap on him". when Michael heard this he said he had a cap in his pocket and they said alright 'put in on' Then Michael put on his fairy cap. Then he thought of the fairy's magic words and he said 'High over to London" and away he went sailing through the air on the dray car, and in a short time landed in London, where he left the car and made his way to the house of people he knew which after a long stay he left and was soon back in Ireland with his own people again and this is the story of how the first dray car came to London.
