   Bunratty and the way he had for living was by playing a fiddle. One day a crowd of boys wanted the fiddler to go boating with them and the fiddler said he would. Then the crowd of boys and the fiddler went with each other boating and the boat overturned and all of them were drowned except the fiddler. He put his hands around the fiddle and the fiddle saved him from getting drowned. Then the tide brought the man away and he was never seen again.
