"The men rowed towards the shore in a straight line, leaving 'Station Island,' a few hundred yards on the left, and had gone but a short distance, when one of them drew his comrade's attention towards an object about a stone's-cast off. Both instantly let fall their oars, and throwing themselves upon their knees, began simultaneously a succession of prayings, and breast beatings, and crossings innumerable. At first I thought the whole of this strange spectacle was feigned, and truly I had reason enough to look upon acting as the 'lex loci;' but a narrower inspection of the countenances of these startled heroes, satisfied me that their consternation was unaffected. Following with my own, the direction of their eyes, I perceived what seemed to me a ridge of rock, about twenty feet in length, rising above the surface of the water, to which the slight ripple already noticed had given the appearance of motion. I had caught one of the fallen oars as it floated past the help at which I sat, and handing it to the boatman nearest, desired that he would recover the other, and row towards the rock. The first injunction was obeyed, but the second met with a positive refusal - neither of the men would consent to approach it, nor explain why. Resolved not to be foiled in an affair which these 'histrionics' had made important, I snatched back the oar I had picked up, the man offering no resistance, and commenced using it as a scull. When I found that I should be permitted to have my own way, I stopped, and inquired again of my cowardly companions the grounds of their alarm. One of them at last said, that what we saw was the great serpent or fish, which appeared every now and then, at such times as the offering of the altars had been insufficient; that is, when the priests were dissatisfied with the contributions of the people."

"Returning to the lake shore, another notable landmark there should be considered, Saint Brigid's Chair. It is a large rock, roughly-shaped like a high-backed chair, and its is prominent even among the large boulders surrounding it. Viewed from a boat on the water, the Chair stands out sharply against the vandyke brown of hibernating heathers and the orange of wilted bracken. A few almost needleless pines, old and lonely, stand sentinel on the slopes above it. The base of the great rock is in the water. There are no marks or carvings on the stone. It is a comfortable, roomy seat, perfectly smooth, with a sloping back. There is, however, no documentary evidence that Saint Brigid ever visited this locality. The roach was originally known as Saint Dabheoc's Chair, probably down to the seventeenth century, at which period Saint Brigid's name was first attached to one of the cells on Station Island and probably also to this rock. An unusually complete view of Station Island may be had from it. Local tradition has it that Saint Brigid sat there, gazing at the Island, while waiting for a coracle to take her over."
