tho foresterh he cut Off his head with one blow.
and there rose up before him a young man of
twenty-one years.

Next day all went to the castle Of the four
champions and their sister. and leaving the
women in that place they set out for Erin.
When the Fenians Of Erin saw them sailing
In toward Vcntry strand they raised three
shouts of Joyous welcome. Whoever was glad
or was not glad. Grainne was glad because
there was an end. as she thought. to her suf-
ferine. Indeed. she would not have lived at
all had she kept the injunctions. but she did
not: she received meat and eggs on Sliav Iolar
from all the women who took pity on her and
went to see her. So when she got the tallow
she weighed it. and finding it some ounces
short she gave out three piercing wallis Of
distress. and when Dyeermud. who was Of
fery temper. saw that Faolan was not going
to punish the woman he raised his own sword
and swept the head Off her.
Fin embraced Faolan. and welcomed hin.
Dyeermud went to his mother and sister.
viii you marry a young champion whom I
have brought with me T"asked he Of his sister.
II will marry no one" said she. but the
man you will choose for me-"
VERY WE'LL" said Dyeermud. there is such
a man outside" He led her out. and she and
Arthur were well pleased with each other.
Dyeermud. with his sister and Arthur and
Faolan. set out ontho following day. and never
stopped nor stayed till they reach Ell the castle
Of the four champions and their sister. and
taking Faolan's betrothed and Dyeermud
along with them they travelled on till they
stopped at the castle Of the Black Blue Giant.
F%aolan's mother was there before him. and
glad was she and rejoiced to see her own son.
There we're three weddings in one at the
castle Of the giant: Arthur and Dyeermud's
sistor. Faolan and the sister Of the four
champions. Dyeermud and the daughter ,of
the Black Blue Giaut.
When the feasting was over Faolan's mother
called him and asked: Wi. you 70 to my
kingdom. which is yours bv inheritance. tho
country Of the Dark Men. and rule there
e will" said Faolan. ION condition that
am to be sent for il ever tho Fenians should
need my assistance" He then gave his share
in the land Of the wild bag and his claim to
the castles Of the cat Of Gray Fort. the kitten
Of Cul MacCip and the dun OK to Arthur and
Dyeermud. aud these two shared those places
between them. They attended Faolan and his
wife to the country Of the Dark Men. and then
returned. Faolan's mother went to Fintra and
lived there with Fin MacCool.
