    Millcastle where an invisible hand took the boy away again.
    It seems at that time someone in the house spoke but before the fairies got him away he told them to go through the same performance the following night.
    They did as they were commanded and went to the same place and got back the boy in the same manner.
    It is said that John Daly grew to be a man and afterwards went to America. His brother Matt and his wife and children are still alive.
