- (continued from previous page)myself once about twenty-two years ago. That was while the British were at war. I was coming from the Pike on a short-cut to the Cúinne Bhuidhe when I saw the black bull in the field. "What brought you here", says I, "and no cows with you?" I looked and he had his head on the ditch. His two eyes were like balls of fire and there were two candles lighting on his horns. I stopped looking to see if he'd come out but he didn't. I wasn't afraid at all although he had hunted Paddy Carlton and the two Cooneys awhile before that and they had to spend three weeks in bed.
