“There was a man by the name of John Furlong who lived in Scullabogue (Newbawn Co Wexford).”
They called him Red John, because he wore a Red whisker.
He was visiting a cousin of his one evening, and stopped rather later.
In his coming home he had to pass a place by the name of Morans who kept a very wicked dog.
He was getten down off a stile, and there was a laugh of water under it. His foot slipped off the stile,and he bobbed into the laugh of water.
He then heard the dog coming like a roaring lion, and the devil ever such farth as come to him and he let bang.
He heard no noise from the dog, but he heard a stone gap falling and a gate in on the rock of Scullabogue. There is a high stone cliff up a piece from the gate, and the dog got on it, and began to keen with rejoicment for being saved.(continues on next page)- Collector
