- Once upon a time there were two Kilkeel men fishing in Carlingford Lough one very wild night. They were afraid the boat would upset and they would be drowned, so one of them, named John, said to the other, "Willie, do you know how to pray? "I don't, very well, but I will try," said Willie and they both went down on their knees and began to pray, and this is what they said "Lord, it is forty years since I asked a favour, and if you grant us this one it will be forty more till I ask another."This story was told to me by my father.
