PREFACE

This, the fourth and final part of CAinnc riA nD-Aome

is, perhaps, the most useful of the series. Like the

other paits it contains a useful vocabulary not only for

learners but for speakers of Irish. flu native Irish

speaker who lives on the sea-board can enrich his

vocabulary with numerous words relating to the life

of the inland while the native speaker living far away

from the sea can increase his stock of words and

phrases relating to fishing, lx)ating, and the life of

the maritime districts. To tli< ItMin- ish,

this vocabulary, set in the phra living Irish

speech, is invaluabl includes the names of fishes,

plants, trees, birds, animals, as well as technical terms

relating to farming, fishing, and recreations. The book

concludes with a dialogue on the Irish Language itself.

THE SEA.

How rough the sea is to-jday,

John, I dare say we are

near a storm ; the sea is

dreadfully choppy.

Hqw til© spray is dashedover the rocks ; what acrest of foam on the

waves !

How beautiful the whitehorses (or Neptune'sliorses as they used to br

called long ago).

See, there is a beautiful shipat the horizon.

I can't see it.

Sarah, girl, bring me thetelescope.

Now I see her ; she is a beau-tiful steamer. Sh»- '

Take care, Tini, do not walkon the seaweed ; it Is veryslippery; it is amazingwhat a lot of dilisk there

is on this strand.

And look at the cockles, the

mussels, and the perri-

winkles.

How plentiful the cockles

are ; we must pick somefor they are splendid food.

There are numbers of pretty

some of them before

He has a good farm of land

and fine stock ; wouldyou like to come and chat

with him ; John and my-self are very friendly ; wecan take the short cut

through the field ?

His crops are in perfect con-

dition ; it is a long timesince I saw the crops so

green at this time of the

year.

I suppose some of the stalks

were burnt by the frost at

the end of Spring ?

They were, but though theywere, burnt they didn't

suffer much harm, andI don't see any sign of the

blight on them.

How many acres of land hashe?

Up to a hundred acres of fine

The greater part of thatfarm below is in tillage;

i here's flax sown in it nowand again, although flax

is seldom seen in thedistrict.

And why isn't flax sownmore frequently ?

Because a great deal of

trouble must be takenwith it before 'tis spun.

What are the men doingbelow at the foot of thefield?

Don't you see that they aredigging and grubbing.

There is a fine ploughingteam at work in the nor-

They are ploughing andharrowing at present.

Do you see the ploughs andthe harrows at work ?

Quite true, for the weatheris beautiful ; the rain anddew are coming in goodseason.

it is poor, cold, wet land.

and the nettles and the

other weeds would notbe growing so thick andchocking the crops.

smell from the blossoms ?

I do indeed, and I hear the

as they go from blossomto blossom sucking honey.

It is amazing what a quan-tity of furze is growingon the north side of thehill. There is h»

It is not a good sign of the

Quite true ; they havereaping, binding andthreshing machines ; theyare not depending onthe scythe now to cutdown the corn as theydid long ago, and it is along time since I sawanyone handling a flail.

Look, the women are work-ing after the reapers in

that field south ; they. are gleaning, and I as-

sure you it is not verynice work to be gather-

ing ears in the stubble

field considering howsharp the stubbles are.

I dare say they will be soonthreshing the corn in

that farm.

I hope there won't l)e drink-

ing at the threshing as

there used to be.

There is an end of that badhabit, thank God. Thethreshers and winnowersare quit^ satisfied witli

the ordinary food

I dare say they make someuse of the chaff that is

got out of the corn ?

Certainly.

M.uiy .1 poor family thathas no Ixitter bed than alittle chuff.

Of course, I would ; it is

Have you heard the cuckooyet this year, Garrett ?

Yes, indeed, and I had thegood luck to hear her in

the right ear ; they sayit is not lucky to hear herin the left ear.

Are all your birds singing

at present ?

Some of them are moulting,but they will soon besinging again.

Which do you prefer, thesong of the lark or thesong of the thrush ?

I have not a fishing rod norline, but perliaps youwould lend them. I brokethe wheel ot the fishing

rod yesterday.

You don't require any rod.

I have a strong fishing

line for you and a goodstrong folding frame andlead. We shall have suf-

ficient bait also ; I wasdigging it in the sandearly this morning.

What kind of bait do youuse ?

The sand-worm is better

than any other bait, for

it is tough. I use cockles

and sprats, occasionally,

but tbey are too soft, andthe fishes carry them off

with them. They are

easily broken on thehook.

I was told that there is

a fine shoal of fish on the

northern side of the sandbank. We shall go outthe harbour presently,

and we shall catch a goodquantity, please God.We ought to take thegaff with us, for the fish

is sometimes very heavyflirre.

I li.ire say you seldom fish

in the river.

1 was fishing in it recently

the eel was dead, for heput the gafi through herbefore he hauled her into

the boat. He was goingalong the road towardshis own house, quite de-lighted with himself andwith his fine take of fish

and no wonder ; whenthe conger lifted her headand caught Paddy by thepoll ; never did humanbeing get a greater fright

;

the pannier and its con-tents fell on the road, andthe poor man himselfnearly dropjied dead onthe spot.

You could hear him roaring

killed the conger.

;

we were caught in a Fearful storm from the southand we thought everymoment that the mastwould be broken, and I

dare say that it wouldhave been broken onlythat it was such goodstuff.

It was amazmg that theboat was not capsized,

and no doubt she wouldhave been capsized wereit not that her keel wasso deep; and had -

is changing again ; 'tis

blowing from the north-

west.

Now Maurice, all

aboard, and wc shall besoon in full sail,

\Vc shall be able to have aswim a little later onwhen we get outside thepoint of the wood ; there

is a nice sandy cove to

the west of the wood, andwe can anchor and gofor a swim.

I regret that I cannot swim,but I suppose I can gobathing if the water is

shallow enough.

Maurice is a good swimmer,and he will show you howto swim ; he will supportyour chin.

How nice the whitewashedhouses north of the beachlook—the houses that

are nicely situated facing

the sun on the hilside.

I wonder whose is the

lovely house at the bendof the road with thefine fuchsia hedge in

front of it ?

I think that is Jerry MichaelLarry's house. He is awonderful man. He neverceases working and put-

ting things in order

;

and, as a result, he has abeautiful place and con-siderable means. It

would be well if all

farmers were as diligent

as he is.

I don't think I ever saw thefuchsia or privet so abun-dant anywhere as theyare here. What beauti-

ful hedges !

They grow wonderfully be-

side the sea.

The boys of the Crof«; an» alittle older, andstronger the Ro» ;

but still the boys of

In all probability we shall

have good sport to-day,

for hurling is the finest

game that can be seen.

We can go the pathway be-

side the wood ; it is a

great short cut.

It is time for us to be go-

ing, for the match will

soon begin. The peopleare gathering quicklyalready.

I hope there will be no dis-

turbance or quarrollin?

between them.

There is not the least fear of

that, for there is nolonger any drinking.

It is a long time since I sawany one intoxicated in

the parish.

Such was not ilu- case

twenty years or even ten

years ago.

And what is that great

see all the boys and girls

around the field, and it is

they are bright and gayand well dressed.

They must take a great

interest in he match.

Some are hop ng that the

boys of the Cross will

win and others hopingthat the boys of the Rockwill be victorious.

See ! they are commencingnow ; here comes the twoteams.

I see they have John O'Heaas referee and theie is nofear that John will do aninjustice to either side.

Andy Julia is the goal-

keeper for the Rock teamand Tim Mickey is the

goal-keeper for the other

team.

Up with the ball now !

By jove ! liow fast they are

running and how vigour-

ously they are playing.

See, the Rock boys have got

the ball very nearly into

the goal.

See the tall man and the

other with the ball be-

tween themThe foxey lad is trying to

knock him down, but I

don't think he can bring

that giant down.

But neither can he bring

down the brawny fellow,

who is so firm on his feet,

although he gave him ahip and shoulder.

I wonder is that fair ?

1 think so.

Have you seen the foul that

man yonder did to the

man who was pucking the

ball ? He tripped him,

and that is by no meanslawful ; it was a low meanact.

See, Johnny, the goal-

keeper allowed the ball

to pass him, and 'twas

badly done by him.

The Kock team has got agoal.

'Twill soon be half-time nowand they will be changingsides, and it is a goodthing for the boys of the

The high plant to the inside

of it is mullein. It is

also called the " big herb"in certain places.

called Rosemary and Cen-t-'i'irv.

ít is not very diliicult

to solve that question.

You know how the Irish

language was forbiddenand how it was trampledunder foot. In consequ-ence of that the peopleof Ireland had to give upthe speaking of Irish totheir children. Accord-ing as the language wasdisappearing, the know-ledge of the plants andthe cures they containedwas also gradually dis-

appearing until it wasalmost altogether lost.

It is only an odd in-

dividual here and there

who knows anything nowabout herbs.

The older people could notpossibly impart thatknowledge to the youngin English, for they them-selves did not know the

names in English.

I understand the wliule

story now. and certainly

it is a sorry story.

Not oiily do the boys andgirls who belong to the

Hall stage dramas, butthey also have operatic

performances, for wehave a wonH«"-fi!i < horal

society.

There are over sixty singers

in it, and it would be well

worth your while to hearthem. There is great

credit due to the musi-

cian who trained them.

They play many games

—

draughts, chess, billiards,

and cards.

Do you go there often your-

self ?

Yes, certainly, for I like agame of cards now andagain, though I am not

an adept at them. Wehave great fun, and noone loses or wins much,for we play for only a

halfpenny a game.

There is a fine gymnasiumthere also, and every

kind of gymnasium ap-

paratus, horizontal bar,

parallel bars, climbing

ladders, and so on.

the room is very cosy,

and exceedingly nice.

There arc special roomsfor the girls, in whichgood and useful work is

being done. They learn

needlework, knitting andcooking from splendid

I am delighted to come to

games, and I feel all the

The Irish Langaage.

I am told the Irish also is

being taught in the Hall.

I trust you arc suc-

ceeding.

iiie students who are in

earnest are succeeding,

but those whose hearts

are not in the work are

not succeeding, and theydo not deserve to suc-

ceed.

There are people who im-agine that they ought to

be able to learn Irish

without taking the least

trouble with it, and then,

when they don't succeed,

their excuse is, that the

Irish is too difficult.

That brings to my mind thestory of the cat that wasfishing on the dry strand.

;

they would like to knowit, but they don't like to

cause themselves thesmallest inconvenience in

the world to learn it.

Nevertheless don't ><ju

think the Irish Languagemo\'cment is advancing ?

Are there not a greatmany people everywherethrough the country whoarc able to understand,write, and speak it ?

Such was not the casetwenty years ago.

That is quite true, butthings would be far

better if conversationwere carried on morefrequently than it is.

Wc arc glad to hear thatthe readers and writers

are growing more numer-ous, hut wc should muchprefer the speakers to beincreasing in numbers.

itiM.ij.-. ijie learners feel

shy, and don't like tospeak Irish, seeing howlittle of It they know.

Perhaps so ; but no matterhow little or much of it

they know they ought to

speak it and get ac-

customed to the conver-

sation. As the proverbsays :

" Practice makesperfect."

They will soon acquirefluency of speech and acommand of words, pro-

vided they speak a little

Irish every day.

I am convinced that weshall strive in vain to re-

vive the Irish throughoutthe country unless it betaught in the schools,

and especially in theNational Schools.

1 he school teachers shouldtake the greatest care to

have conversation in theclasses every day ; andalso to teach the chil-

dren the pronunciation,

the correct accent, andthe proper constructionof the language.

With regard to some of the

Gaelic League branches,

I notice that they havebut very little conver-

sation in the classes.

That is a great mistake.

They should occupy thegreater part of the timewith conversation.

I often hear people say that

the Irish spoken in theprovinces of Ireland is

not the same, and that

a Munster man cannotunderstand 1 man from

Ulster.

Don't mind those people.

It is the same Irisli that

is spoken in all the pro-

vinces, only that there is

a little difference in theaccent and pronuncia-tion I believe there is

greater difference in theEnglish spoken in the

provinces.

The Connacht man thinks

he himself speaks Irish

most accurately and with

the best accent. Accord-ing to an old saying

:

" The Mimster man speaks

with tfood accent, but

not correctly ; the Lein-

ster man Sjseaks coi-

rectly, but has not a goodaccent ; the Ulster manspeaks neither correctly

nor with a good accent ;

the Cormacht man speaks

correctly, and with right

accent."

It must have been a Con-

nacht man that invented

that old saying.
