    During the late Father Keane's curacy in Castleisland he used have annual excursions. It happened that two boys from the next parish went one year on one of those excursions. Returning from the excursion late in the night and feeling tired they went a short cut from one road to the other. Near Crohane mountain there are two spring wells. So they felt like resting and moving near one of those wells to enjoy a drink of lovely spring water. They stood to listen as they thought they heard some noise or the sound of something walking. One of them saw in the moonlight the dark shadow with two ugly hairy hooves. Asking his companion did he see anything the answer was no. They moved near the well again and the object moved also towards the well. This happened several times, and in the end they had to go away without any drink. This is quite true. One of the

The farmer came out with his servants and family much frightened when they heard me speaking inside the barrel. At any rate he picked up courage and opened the barrel. And I told him the whole story as I tell you now. He took me in and fed me tenderly and put me to bed for a sleep. When I woke up and told him I was from Knockachur Cross, Co Kerry he was more surprised than ever as his home address was Emly; Co Tipperary.
    So now you imagine the drive I had in the tub from Kanturk to Emly and all I walked going astray from Crohane to Kanturk. Dear reader if you knew the distance you could feel how I felt without going through the distance walking and rolling in the tub. Next day the good Co. Tippearary farmer brought me home with a fast horse and Side-car as they called them that time.

    P. Moloney speaking.
    When I was a little boy of 10 years, I went to school regularly, and I was a smart lad too. It was my job each evening after school to go to the mountain of Crohane where my father had some cattle grazing along the glens of Thur.
    Well to make a long story short, I left this particular evening without any dinner, as it was likely to rain, and dinner was not ready; a hazy evening with a fog moving along the hillside. Off I went anyhow, and I found all my heifers were alright, so I turned for home immediately, but I was soon surrounded by a thick fog blanket, and of course I lost my homeward

    Her maiden name was Hannah Gleeson. She lived at Crohane, Glenflesk. She attended Morley's Bridge School. They had potatoes and milk for breakfast. One morning she was afraid she would be late for school and she wanted to go off without her breakfast, but her eldest sister followed her and insisted on her waiting for it.
    Very few children had bread for luncheon. She often saw potato-skins underneath the seats - the remains of the childrens luncheon. Sometimes, she got a slice of bread to take for her luncheon. That morning she went off in great glee.

    Mass and there they were met by people from Barradubh or Rathmore, or Kilcummin who had ordered them. Sometimes orders were so great that the hazel was sent by train from Loo Bridge Station to Headfort Junction or to Rathmore as the Crohane hazel had a very high reputation and the farmers and farmer's sons who sold the rods were generous and easily paid. The practice still continues to a limited extent but basket makers are getting scarce farmers find it more convenient to buy the ready made article. People from the west of Killarney from Beaufort to Killorglin market baskets in Killarney regularly. They supply also a small basket which would contain only about half a peck and this is used by people who sell apples by the basket.
    Baskets are generally made in the open. The basket-maker starts on a piece of level ground and sticks the ribs in the ground. He then puts on the rim or first Buinne and works up walking about the frame work as he works. The Buinne is made by

Up to this time the Lochlanns had not suffered so great a loss in all Erin. At Cruachain in the Eoghanacht this victory was gained.

    1) I In this locality there are a few haunted houses . Many years ago a man named Mr Blood lived in the townland of Brickhill . This man started to build a new house when he started to roof it, it would be taken off again.
    This happened for two or three turns. At last he knew that there was no good in trying to roof it, so he left that place and the house as it was. The walls of that house are still to be seen but the most of the stones were taken away last year to build a new house.
    Mr Blood was a Land-lord here in Brickhill and he has a vault in Crohane Churchyard dating seventeen thirty eight. This story was told to me by Michael Gleason Brickhill Cratloe Co Clare.
