    huntsmen. When they caught the huntsmen they went through Aughyhassy and everywhere. When they came to the river Brosna the hunstmen could not jump it. Only the two with the calves. When they were across Bill said "If I was to be struck dead that was a great jump for a calf". He never said one word until he felt himself on the ass riding by Nolan's garden.
    One night Bill Meeks was going home across Loughenawnaght and he heard a football match. Then he saw the ball before him and he kicked it. Then he heard a voice saying "Good man Bill".
