    Miscellaneous.
    were balls of fire flying about them, and terrible noises like iron gates slapping against each other, and shouting and crying of "Mile murther" and in the middle of it all there on the wall of the ring was the ould boy himself, horns, hooves, tail and all fire flying out of mouth and nose, and he lashing his tail like a mad cow.
    He was roaring something awful and trying to get to the men, but the captain came at him and threw a stheall of the Holy water in his face. He leapt away from it howling like a mad hen, and tried to get at the men in another place, but the captain kept him back with the Holy water and when the men lifted the big flag off what looked like a stone coffin, the ould boy disappeared and he roaring and laughing. The rest of the tale is as given in cuid 11.
