- (continued from previous page)People going to foreign countries always cut a piece of the trunk.
The cutting of the tree weakened it, and it fell and formed an arch.
A storm came one night and it slipped right down into the river and it never stopped until it got down as far as Bealaclogga River.
It was said that some people tried to burn it, but it would not burn for them.
A native of Miltown Malbay by the name of Anthony Egan remembered the tree, and he thought that many changes took place during his absence.
He got a beautiful white cross erected there, and it is still there to this day.- Collector
