- (continued from previous page)tion do not remember these fights taking place, but they heard about them from the old people new dead.
- The old people put great faith in Colm Cille's prophecy which foretold the end of the world, as they believed.It said that the cars would run without horses, that the milk of the country would be all churned in the same churn, and that the people would fly through the air like birds.These things were believed to have happened when trains first run, and when creameries were established. If the old people could see the aeroplane, they would be certain that the end of the world was coming.
