Legend says the tree brought good luck during the great plague of London in 1665. At that date ti-ntisands of persons went to Dev- lull and walked around the tree three times. As they walked they tr.--rie a wish for better health, freedom from the dreaded plague. nnd for many other things. Many tamed their luck improved after a visit to the famous old tree. Even in this day A, A. Varley who owns the land on which the tree grows says ho receives letters from all over the world requesting that cork from the tree be sent them. Winch proves there are still plenty of people in the world who are superstitious to the core.
