- (continued from previous page)carried miles by the wind.
My great grandmother and her four days old daughter shared a terrible experience.
All people of the house were outside preparing a bed for her in an outhouse as the house was in danger of falling.
Thinking she was left alone in the house with her baby she went out. The wind carried her for about twenty perches until she seized a lone bush and kept a hold for about two hours when she was rescued by a search party.
Told to Tim Mulready by his father.
