    (continued from previous page)
    To this messenger he gave the name of the tool, stipulating that it should be obtained through this particular daughter.
    The name given to the noble messenger, which was to describe this important fictitious tool, and the hidden meaning of which he will know his crafty daughter would understand was- "Cóir in-aghaidh córa, agus cam in aghaidh caim, gabh ibhfus inaghaidh thall."
    The Gobán was not disappointed, as the noble messenger was forthwith locked up and held as a hostage for the safe return of her father.
