We have seen him in the camp of the enemies of his country, learning the art of war on the shores of Dingle Bay a witness to the horrors perpetrated at Smerwick.
I went to the mouth of the dingle, and there, placing myself on my knees, I again said the Lord's Prayer; but it was of no use praying seemed to have no effect over the horror; the unutterable fear appeared rather to increase than diminish, and I again uttered wild cries, so loud that I was apprehensive they would be heard by some chance passenger on the neighbouring road; I therefore went deeper into the dingle.
