    (continued from previous page)
    that most of the gentry and the soldier himself was drunk they said that they would kill all the English and then take the castle.
    They all went into the castle except one man. They left him at the door so if they were getting the worst of the fight he would come in and help them. They got the worst of the fight so they called him in. He got a chair and hit the soldier with it and killed him. Then all the other English ran away. The soldiers ghost is seen haunting the place since that.
