- When Red Sprowles was nearly fifty five years in Boherquill he got very poor and in the end he had nothing to eat.
He went to America where he got a job in a mine. One day when the men were cooking their dinner a worker in the mine found out who Sprowles was. He got into a rage and he lifted up the pan and killed him with it.
