    A man named Willy Crowly lived in Campile, Co. Wexford and he was a great swimmer. One day a party of men told this man that they would tie him and throw him in the river at Campile. They did this. When they did this he swam as far as he was able and when they took him out he was not a bit the worse only that he got a heavy cold.
