Here is brief statement of the legend: "The magnificent city of Is was situ- ated on the coast of Brittany where now is the bay of Douarnenez. It was built below the level of the sea and surrounded by massive walls. Here in the fifth century was the court of the pious King Gradlon and of his wicked daughter, Dahut, who had pleasant habit of throwing her suitors into a we'll when their society became tiresome. One of her favorites asked her to obtain for him the silver key which fastened the sluice gates in the city wall. Dahut accordingly stole the key from her fathers neck while he slept, the lover unlocked the gates. and the sea rushed fin and overwhelm- ed the city and its inhabitants, includ. ing the princess. Only the king escap- ed The Breton peasants say that the spirits of the drowned still haunt the spot, and the bells of the submerged city are often heard ringing at low tide1
