That kingdom may have been thus called from Fionn himself and would have been known by another name when he arrived there. He hunted for the King of Finntraigh, and it soon grew evident that there was no hunter in his service to equal Fionn. More, there was no hunter of them all who even distantly approached him in excellence.
There must have been anger in his mind as he went away leaving that lake behind him, and those snarling and scowling boys, but there would have been disappointment also, for his desire at this time should have been towards friendliness. He went thence to Lock Le'in and took service with the King of Finntraigh.
Whatever was thought, what the king said was as direct in utterance as it was in observation. "If Uail the son of Baiscne has a son," said the king, "you would surely be that son." We are not told if the King of Finntraigh said anything more, but we know that Fionn left his service soon afterwards.
