And Father M'Fadden wrote about it--oh, he is a clever priest with the pen--and they made a great subscription in London for the poor people and the chapel.

I can't rightly say how much, but it was in the papers, a matter of seven hundred pounds, I have heard say.

And it was all sent to Father M'Fadden." "And it was spent, of course," I said, "on the repairs of the chapel, or given to the relatives of the poor people who were drowned." "Oh, no doubt; very likely it was, sir! But the repairs of the chapel--there isn't a mason in Donegal but will tell you a hundred pounds would not be wanted to make the chapel as good as it ever was.
And for the people that were drowned--two of them were old people, as I said to you, sir, that had no kith or kin to be relieved, and for the others they were of well-to-do people that would not wish to take anything from the parish." "What was done with it, then ?" "Oh! that I can't tell ye.

It was spent for the people some way.

You must ask Father M'Fadden.
