- (ar lean ón leathanach roimhe)Dan noticed that the hay was swept up in the air all around them, so much so, that he was unable to see them. They saw nothing, but they felt a terrible furl-blast, was the information James McCann and Pat Clarke gave of it.
However, Dan followed the regiment with his eyes, and the next place it entered on its course by the river was a field of oats in stooks. The stooks of oats went topsy-turvy in the air among one another but no sooner had the regiment passed than the stooks were all in their places again as if nothing had happened.
Dan watched the course of the regiment as it crossed the road that leads from Longford to Drumlish, and careered by the river until it reached the source between the townlands of Leitrim and Prucklish; and then, it gradually sank behind the hill towards Ballagh. Those townlands are all in the parish of Clongesh.
When Dan went to his breakfast he related what he had seen. Peter Clarke, then a man of about seventy-five years said that such has not been seen for the past twenty-five years and it is a sign that we shall have a war again.
This happened in September 1915, the year before the 1916 uprising.
