Patrick was a youthful and hard-working Irishman at a small coastal village in Ireland.
Daily he would pole a heavy old punt out to sea then work a heavy iron grapple to bring up the sand oysters which he sold to the local ice works.
He was a man of regular habits he always arrived home each day at a certain time.
Sadly, Patrick did not realise the heavy grappling was taking a toll on a faulty heart.
One day he failed to come home so his wife contacted the Police to investigate him being missing. They rowed out and found Patrick dead in the punt, beside him a huge grapple full of oysters he'd tried to hoist aboard.
