    happened. James Brady got tired and said he would come no more. Mr. Ellot said that since Brady had helped him to dig up the well, he would have to help him settle it back. They did so and went home.

    In a place known as the Carraig in Polmalady there was a bar of gold hidden. One day when a man was rising gravel at the foot of the Carraig he saw the bar of gold but he was unable to touch it. He went for another man and when they came back the hole was closed over, they started to dig again but they could not get the gold.
