    (continued from previous page)
    years ago there were two men coming home from a fair in Ballina with cattle. When they drew near the fort they stopped and let the cattle feed along the roadside and the men sat down on the green to rest themselves. One of the men was Patrick Hegarty of Askereagh, Crossmolina. They were not very long sitting down until they say the hunt coming out of the fort and it crossed the road and up through Cloonawillian farm, also of Crossmolina.
    After a while the dogs started yelping as if they were after a hare.
