  1. A Drowning

    Share Share Post
    A woman named Mrs Finnegan was drowned in the mill river. One evening she was going home from the shop, and she had two loaves with her. She went over to the bridge to look into the river. The wind came and blew the bread into the river. She got in after them and in her attempt to get them, she was drowned.
