DEEP IN THE WATER.
A SUNKEN CASTLE. Dpp|) in tho water at the hearl of Lough Cor rib stands an ancient castlc. Legend hays that this castle was built in one night, bv a cock and a hen ; but actually it was elected by Roderick O'Connor, the last king of Ireland, writes
an Englishman. Peasants say that at times strange lights flicker through the ornate windows of the submerged castle, and a fleet, of boats—filled with quaintly dressed men —patrol the lake. They row about until the cncl< heralds dawn, then they instajitly vanish. The Isle of Man seems rather a big handful, but Irish mythology affirms that it was nothing more to a giant named Fionn Ma Coul. . One dav, in a lit of temper, this giant seized a listful of earth and cast it into Iho sea. . . Lough Neagh, the largest of the Irish lakes, is said to lie in the huge hollowthat resulted.
