Dennis went home contented to wait for three oclock to get the money. Off he went at three oclock in the morning to look for his gold but when he got to the fort there was a million white mushrooms round the fort and he did not know what to do or what one to go to and there was the leprecaun jumping around for joy looking at Dennis.

The fort is in Mr James Daly's field in Sheepstown.
