Story (continued)
“There was once a man who lived in Maree, and his name was Mr. Grealy.”
(continued from previous page)When he arrived at the fort where the spirit was seen and called on it to come out. After some time it came out and they both fought three times. At last Mr Grealy won the fight, The spirit told him that he was very thankful to him because he had been there for fifteen years doing penance for committing murder while on earth/ He afterwards offered all the gold he possessed to Mr Grealy for being so courageous.
