  1. In summer at Termonfeckin and Clogher Head County Louth a strange fish appears called "sun fish". This fish is seen very frequently nearly every day in summer. Mr Tallan and a lot of other people saw it. It is twenty feet long and very broad, it follows the boats to see would any person fall into the water, then he eats them. Water horses are also seen at Clogher Head. There is also after rain, big kinds of dogs called Orthers in Beaulieu Pond.
