the upright of the gabhlóg, and let the front stick of the frame rest against the fork; now take the bent briar, run the short end of it through the fork so that it will come out under the stick resting against the fork and so hold it up. Place the other end of this bent briar just inside the circular briar under the crib, catching it very lightly against this. Place some bread crumbs on the ground, well back under the crib. When a hungry bird comes along, it hops on to the circular briar, or "tongue" as it is called; this drops under the weight of the bird and lets the long end of the bent briar loose. This flies up and relieves the hold on the short end, on which the crib is resting. The result is, the crib falls to the ground and the bird is caught.
Tee-totem- Get a square piece of wood about two inches in length, 1/4 of an inch wide, and 1/4 of an inch thick. Point one end about 1/2 an inch sharply, and tin out about one inch at the other to the thickness of a pen-handle. This will leave four flat sides between the point and the handle. On one of these sides print the letter T; on the second the letter A; on the third side

There are three ancient grave-yards about here, one in Tubber-Patrick another in Killmahon and one in Inch Island. Those are the three grave-yards St Patrick blessed. Inch Island is in the parish of Columcille. In olden days there was a monastery in Inch and in Cromwells days it was tumbled down and the monks were driven out of it. There is also a story about an ancient bell that was in Inch Island. The protestants took it away and it returned ringing through the air on two occasions and on the third time it was taken the tongue was cut out but it came back noisly. It now can be seen in Columcille church. The Island consists of about twenty acres. The grave-yard lies to the south side of the Island. There are hundreds of people buried there. The corpses were brought over on a flat stone. It sailed over with the corpse and return again to await the next corpse and to the present day there are people buried there on this Island.

When I was a young I made a stool and a toy cart. When I was making the stool I got a board about an inch deep, and I made four holes at each end with an auger. I then got four sticks for legs and put each one of them into each hole. When I was putting the legs in I slanted them, because if I put them straight the stool would not stand I stra- tightened the legs with two inch nails. When I was making the cart I got three boards half an inch deep, and nailed them across two thick sticks for the body. These sticks were the shafts. I got two pram-wheels and an axle and fastened them to the body. I made two side boards by nailing tow narrow boards together, and two cross slats upon top of that. I had this cart for drawing manure, and hay. I had it for two or thee- three years.

Long ago boys used to make pop guns out of elder branches. They used to cut a piece of elder about eight inches long and take out the soft portion of the elder. The inside of the barrel was then about a half-inch in diameter. They used to cut a rod the length of the barrel of the gun and pare it until it would fit into the barrel of the gun, and leave a head on it about an inch long. They used to roll up a piece of paper and make it very hard and press it into the barrel of the gun with the rod. They would blow some wind into the barrel and put in a second bullet. The first bullet would be very near the mouth of the barrel and the other about an inch and a half from the back of the barrel. They would then strike the head of the rod with their hand and it would fire the bullet about five or six yards and make a loud sound.

gun made. Now to make a stand for your cannon get a square block of timber and fix the cannon firmly on it. Get two Science polish boxes and drive an inch nail through the middle of each box and drive one of the nails on each side of the block and you have wheels on the cannon. Drive a six inch nail in the front of the block to make a handle. To make cannon-balls get a turnip and make cannon-balls about one-eight of an inch smaller than the muzzle. To fire with the cannon put one of the cannon-balls into the muzzle and pull the stick backwards and leave it go quickly and it will fire the cannon-ball.

In 1900 here did a ship come in to Inch. It was to land in Dingle but the gale drove it into Inch. Its name was the Manchester Merchant. It had a cargo of cotton and timber. The cotton took fire and the ship went in a blaze and then it sank to the bottom of the sea. The crew came safe. The Dingle trawlers brought them safely into Dingle trawlers brought them saf. The captain of the ship gave the bell of the ship to the Inch people for their Church. It was afterwards removed to Annascaul Church where it is at present.

daughter of Moore heard of the affliction of Ulick much against the wishes of her people, she went over to Inch to nurse him, After a short time - Ulick died and Una contracted the disease and she died also. Her dead body was found beside his. The place where the were found is marked to this day. By three whitethorn bushes. A white bird frequently passes over the ruins of Una's home in Ballycullane. This bird flies across Inch to Ballycullane. I have often seen it. The oldest inhabitant of this place does not remember that Ballycullane was ever without the visit from the white bird of Inch. The white bird is supposed to be the soul of Una Moore still revisiting the place where she loved and suffered so much.

Boys make whistles from growing timber. To make the whistle you take a piece of growing timber about four inches long and about half an inch in diameter with clean smooth bark free from knots or branches. Slope off one end the way in which most whistles are sloped for blowing through. Next cut a small hole about the sixteenth of an inch deep and about half an inch from the point of the sloped end, then come down the stem about three inches and cut the bark or skin right round and taking care not to cut the wood underneath. The skin is then ready to be removed. To remove the skin take a pen-knife by the open blade and

Inch from Innse a swampy place in the barony of Elrogarty. it is watered by the camogue river which rises on a hill or small mountain in the barony of Kilnamanagh and joins with the Clodagh near Drombane.

The Barony of Eliogarty was once by the O'Fogarty clan. It was sometimes called Southern Ely to distinguish it from Ely O'Carroll.
The territory of "Ely" got its name from Eile of its princes in the fifth century and from being possessed by the O'Carrolls was called Ely O'Carroll, which comprised the present baronry of Lower Armond. The O'Fogartys owned many castles or residences - Castlefogarty, Inch, Fishmoyne, Rathleasty But Castlefoarty is not really in the Baronry of Eliogarty but in Kilnamanagh.
The crest of the O'Fogarty clan was an arm in armour embowed holding a sword. Their motto was "Flead agus Faibre."

The lengths were not cut off the piece of hide but were left joined together at one end (A) thus. The lengths were now interwoven from A to B and attached to a hazel whip staff or crop about two and a half feet long.

Continued from page 93] 32- was working with his father, the late Mr. John Reidy, he told them that the "people" were always talking of a battle that was fought in the inch, beside the Camog river and between the latter and the field in question. There is no indication of a Clair in the field but the peculiar configuration of the top of the inch slope suggests at once the appearance of having once been piled into mounds. Further, Mr Patrick Reidy informed me that Dan Riordan deceased, whose farm on his death was acquired by the Reidys, once set out to level those mounds but had not gone far in the work when he discovered a lot of human bones. He promptly redisposed the ground as it had been and so it remains to this day. The mounds and alleged battle site as well as Clais-na-Marbh itself are to the north and extending westward of the "poll" referred to (on pages 49 and 54 and 78) as Powlnecró. The position of what the Reidy Bos. call the "Clashnamarve Inch" and "Clashnamarve garden" is to be located on No 1 sheet (2.5" ordinance map) of the No. 31 sheet 6" map of Co. Limerick, at a point 4" from the right hand side and 8" from the top. (both these measurements are taken by mistake with the sheet upside down.) The first section of the inch north of the Camóg is marked (low meadow)

Inch for what seemed to him endless hours and still no sign of daylight & no sign of Inch Bridge, over which he knew he must pass
At last, seeing a beautiful house all lighted up, he made up his mind to ask if he might make a rest there. He knocked at the door. It was opened by a man who told him he could rest a while & welcome.
When he felt a bit rested, the man started again on his journey & to his surprise found he was beside Inch bridge near Ennis.
On returning from Ennis that day he decided he would call to the house to thank the people for allowing him to rest when he was weary & tired. What was his surprise when he came to Inch bridge to find that there was not trace or tidings of any such house in the district. After making many inquiries, he could only come to the conclusion that the house he rested in belonged to the fairies.
