    by unseen hands to the old Church beneath the waves. The custom continued till the death of a young man whow as the son of a deceased chieftain died. His mother was so broken hearted with grief, that she could not leave the corpse alone. She remained there until midnight and she heard a voice saying to her.

    When mortal ear our dirge shall hear
    The burial of the Cantillons is oer.
