Spawn in the Lough • which, when they grow to be big, 
go to the Sea, and there come to their full Growth : 
And that which confirms me in my Opinion is, that at 
the Salmon Fifhing at Colraine, they catch many of 
the large ones going up to the Lough. There is one fort 
of Trout in Lough Neagh very large : l have feen one 
weigh thirty Found weight ; anti the large ft Salmon that 
l ever faw weigh’d not more than Thirty five. This 
fort of Trout the Irifi call a Budagh. 
That there is fome Healing Quality in the Water of 
this Lough, is certain , but whether diffus’d through all 
Parts thereof is not known, nor pretended. There is 
a certain Bay in it, call’d the Fifloing-Bay, which is about 
half a Mile broad : It is bounded by the School-lands 
of Dungannon, hath a fine Sandy Bottom, not a Pebble 
in it, fo that one may walk with fafety and eafe from 
from the Depth of his Ankle to his Chin, upon an eafy 
Declivity, at Jeaft Three hundred Yards before a Man 
fhall come to that Depth. I have been in it feveral 
times, when Mulftudes have been there, and at other 
times $ and l have always obferv’d, that as I have 
walk’d, the Bottom has chang’d from Cold to Warm, 
and from Warm to Cold, and this in different Spots 
through the Bay. Several have made the fame Obfer- 
vation. 
The firft Occafion of taking Notice of this Bay for 
Cure, happened to be no longer ago than in the Reign of 
King Char.es the Second, and was thus. Tnere was 
one Mr. Cunningham , that lived within a few Miles 
of the Place, who he had an only Son grown to Man’s 
Eftare. This young Man had the Evil to that Degree, 
that it run upon him in eight or ten Places *• He had been 
touch’d by the King, and all Means imaginaole us’d for 
his Recovery $ but all did no good, and his Body was 
fo wafted, that he could not walk. When all Hopes of 
his Recovery were palled, he wa& carried to the Lough, 
where.
