    Every minute he found stones going whistling out by the side of his head. He looked around in all directions to see who was throwing stones at him. On looking towards Slievenamon he beheld Fionn Mac Cuhail with a grin on his face, so he came to the conclusion that it was Fionn that was throwing the stones at him. He put a large stone in his sling to throw at Fionn. The cord of his sling broke and the stone fell and lodged in John O'Dwyers field.
