Bob Carswell delivers a weekly programme of great Manx Gaelic broadcasting and entertainment. Dr John Doran, the editor of 'Bentley's Ballads', published in 1858, has some background information about a story in verse which appeared, 'The Manxman and his Visitor'. We find the source from which a London publisher obtained local detail. Following the death of Boxer in 'Gowaltys ny Beiyn', Squealer explains how a misunderstanding arose that Boxer was being taken to the knacker's yard. However, it's not possible to bring his body back for burial, and somehow the pigs have enough to buy another celebratory box of whisky.
