Note 125 — SECTION XXIII: CHAPTER III

From the Memoirs of Donaldson of the 94th, p. 104. Passing through Porto de Mos on September 29, 1910, I thought that I would try to discover whether any memory of this horrid tragedy survived. The sacristan, of whom I made inquiries, at once took me to a ruined chamber to the left of the church, and told me that 200 people had been burned there in the ‘time of the French.’ A new sacristy had been built to replace it in 1814, the chamber being held accursed.
