            <text>"A large-scale evacuation [of Pettigo] followed [the shelling] and the IRA men made their way to the hills to escape the bombardment. One group was caught out in the open when a howitzer shell exploded behind them. However, no one was injured: the men were only covered in mud and were able to continue over the hills in the direction of Ballintra. Some IRA men fled by boat and made their way across Lough Derg to the pilgrimage island. The prior of the pilgrimage, Dean Keown, fearing a British assault on the island, had the IRA men transferred by boat to the opposite shore where they were able to cross the mountains towards Donegal Town. Many of the evacuating IRA men were picked up along the road be passing motorists and over sixty men safely evacuated Pettigo and were temporarily houses in the old workhouse. Many were in bad shape physically and nearly all had lost clothing, money, etc. The local population showed great kindness to them and the parish priest organised a collection to provide men with clothes."</text>
