Story (continued)
“Once upon a time there was a woman called Petticoat Loose.”
(continued from previous page)at this time to bring the woman up behind so finally he asked her to sit up behind him. She said she would.
They drive along until they came to Lismore bridge where she used to sit. She came off, and she told the man to come off the horse because his back was broken.
She told him that she was Petticoat Loose and only that he had given her a drive she would have killed him.
A priest who was living in Lismore got Petticoat Loose cast into the Red Sea. She is yet there making ropes of sand. When she will have them all made she can come out of it.
That will be never because when she has them made the tide sweeps them away.
