- (continued from previous page)"A lament for the six who were drowned in Dunmanaus Bay thirty five years ago"
Composed by John Tobin, Kilcrohane.I
You feeling hearted Christians attend both young and old
Until those doleful verses to you I will unfold
How six brave men did lose their lives, it grieves me for to say
Nigh to the shores of Kilcrohane, which lies in Dunmanaus Bay.II
Those six men were in their prime and were healthy for to view
Three of them being MacCarthy, Tim Spillane and Donovan – two
And also Charles Coughlan, as the public papers tell
I hope for all eternity in heaven their souls do dwellIII
The night was wild and stormy as they ventured for the shore
The sea it rolled in mountains high against them more and more
Soon the boat upturned it grieves for me to tell(continues on next page)- Collector
