    When Sarsfield was riding to Ballyneety he encamped for a small while near a little village named Cullen. He sent scouts out to look for the siege train. On rounding a bend the scouts beheld the siege-train. They returned and reported to Sarsfield. He rode up to the corner and looked at the siege-train. Then he said, "Let us Venture".
