    It is said that one of the horses had a couple of black hairs in it and that is the reason they did not succeed in securing the treasure.

    My father – Thomas O' Hanlon – told me this story.
    He heard it from his grandfather,
    John Connors, R.I.P.,
    Derry Creit,
    Co. Fermanagh.
    My great-grandfather would be over one hundered years old if he were alive now.
