  1. (continued from previous page)
    When I was about three years of age there was a story told to me about the fort at Calary Church.
    There used to be a man in amotor-car driving round in it at the fort and the people that used to pass there at twelve o'clock at night used to hear him say "Ra Rum De Ra" says the lad in the motor car. There used to be seen a light every night after twelve o'clock.
    There is no lights seen there now.
