    Once there were a man and his wife living in Levallyroe. His name was James Loftus.

    (continued from previous page)
    She lived with him for five years. One day he was thatching the house and he was scraping down the old thatch and he never thought about the net and it fell down.
    His wife got it and she ran to the lake and she swam in, and the man never saw her again.
    My grandmother told me this story and this happened about 90 years ago.
    My grandmother is 80 years of age.
