  1. (continued from previous page)
    wanderings along the shore of Tralee Bay he met the Scottish Lady, and as she liked, they planned that at a signal from her he was to raid Con - Rí's fort and rescue her. She went home and asked her chief to build a stone fort and while all his men were engaged in this work, she threw two churns of milk into the river that runs down to the road, when the Ulsterman saw the milk flowing down in the river he with his men raided the fort and captured Con - Rí and his men.
    He took away Con - Rí's wife to Ulster. The River after that was called "Fiónn Glás" and the mountain "Cathar Con - Rí".
