  1. (continued from previous page)
    The driver pulled in his horses to the very footpath on the wrong side of the road, and as the coach passed my friend's house, one set of wheels were almost up on the path.
    My friend had a great view into the coach. He said he would never forget the sight he saw. There were two women along with the driver inside and all three wore black things like shrouds and their faces were white and ghostly and frightened looking.
    The coach went up the Moynalty road.
