    English soldiers used come she used go out under the ground to the sea in a ship. She had a furnace over head in the castle. She used boil lead in the furnace. When the English soldiers used come she used dash the boiling lead on them and they used be jumping into the sea rather than be burned with the lead. The English never conquered her. It was at the time of Queen Elizabeth that Grainne Uail lived. Queen Elizabeth lived to see all the other chiefs under her power except Grainne Uail.
