    “I am going to tell you a story about some cowards, who went to dig for money in the castle (Traceystown, Taghmon, Co Wexford).”

    (continued from previous page)
    two other young men came up and gave them help.
    When they had it half turned they heard something growling.
    They thought it was a bull, so they let the flag fall, and ran for their lives.
    They forgot their coats, and when they went back for them next morning they were gone.
    I'm sure it did not pay them to be cowards.
