| hearsay |
Lanty Slee lived at Low Arnside Farm. Under his kitchen
floor was an illicit whisky still. Steam from the still was
piped to emerge from a hedge in an adjoing field. Spirit was
smuggled out at dead of night, across Salter's Bridge to a
cave on Wetherlam. From there by Wrynose, when the road was
clear, to Ravenglass and a ship.
