the tradition of the country. The pillar-stone supposed to mark his 
grave stands near Cruachan, in the county of Roscommon, on the

was a portion of our old ancestral estate, and I remember, when a boy, I was often 
told that a king of Connaught was buried there who had been killed by lightning at 
the foot of the Alps. I was told by the late Fitzstephen French, M.P., that they 
[Dathi’s troops] were said to have placed the dead body on his horse, and fastened 
on his helmet a sponge saturated with some inflammable liquid, which struck 
terror by night into the hearts of his enemies.’’
