The Brussels Post, 1925-4-22, Page 3FINGAL'S CAVI;, .11y A!lau Forman One morning we started from, Oban n the .iittle steamer bleentaineei', .for. the island of Staffo, oil whloh.1'1ngars Cave 10 situated, The Mountaineer, thought a Nassen- ger boat, was not at all like our beautir fol t'i'er -boats; it was like what we would call tug•boat,.and bad o, meet in the bow, Notwithstanding the clumsy 'appearance of the craft, eta was quite speery. And 28 we steamed along, leaving the low Whit of Mull en the right, Covered _with tbe purple blush of the heather, the little port of Oban behind, with Its 'white henries,. and the ruins of Danolly Castle, rising on the' crest of a Drag, it was really a picturesque sight, Arrived off Staifa, the steamer stop - Ted, for we had to go ashore in small boats. We were landed at the foot of a Night of stem and pining our way over the basun rocks, we ascended the stairs; and 20011 were on the island:, The grass is abundant, and, as there Is 'a little lake of fresh. water, the is,- land is used by its owner as a pasture Por sheep, We walked aeross the island (it is :I, about halt a mile wide), and down, another flight of steps to the entrance of the cave. • The entrance Is twined of loftyba- salt columns, supporting an arch. The pillars are octagonal in&hape, and are so, regular that it is impossible to be- lieve them 'of natural workmanship, e The cave 1a-212 feet long by 3$ feet , .-wide, and the 'floor IS the ocean, so that in order to go in, one has to scramble along e.. rocky Iedge at the side, running the risk .of getting drenohed with the spray, or tumbling into the watem. The beauty of the cave Is well worth the trouble, however, for when the end Is reached; where there- is a broad shelf on which quite a party can stand, the guides light a number of large lan- -terns, and the reflection, sof the lights on the heaving floor, the glistening walls, end the roof, white with calce -reous stalagmites, which glitter as if set with diamonds, is beautifte beyond description. This is by no means the only cavo on the island, MacKinnon's Cave, on the other side, and. the Cave of Winds are the two ;largest, besides which there era • several small hollows. dignified with the name of cave, and rendered Inter - mating by very, romantic legends. • Staffa to formed entirely of basaltic rock, and rises from 84 to 112 feet out of the sea. It is supposed t0,be one end of the Giant's Causeway. The story 15 that in Scotland there lived a giant 'named Fingal,.who was of a very quarrelsome disposition. Far some real or fancied insult, he became angry •at a giant who lived in the North of Ireland," but whom he had never seen. So ,Fingal built the causeway and, walked over to Ireland, with his big club os, his shoulder, ready for a fight, In the meantime, the Irish giant, who had no wish to comp- to blows ows with the irate Scotohnhan, was racking his brains to devise some means of es cape. Ile finally decided to build a large cradle, and on the approach of Fingal, be got into it, and the women coo-. inenoed to rock It and sing lullabies. Fingal strode up to the door and in- quired after: his enemy. "110 is 'not at home,"answered one of the women; "but I pray you, don't make so much noise; the baby IS asleep, and you will awaken it." "The baby!!" said Fingal, in sur- prise, "how old is it?" "Only two weeks, and it is such a Tittle thing we are afraid it won't live," answered the woman, rocking the 0tn die carefully. 'Fingal' took onelong look at the cra- dle and She baby, and then, thinking discretion the better port 01 valor, and judging that if a remarkably small baby was as large ss he himself, it would be very little 'satisfaction to him to ems the father, he shouldered his club and started homeward, sink• tng.the causeway as he went, so that the Irish giant might not follow. When he reached the shores. ;of Scotland, he determined to give Op righting, and stack hie club into the ground to tie his doge to. Someday, when you go to Scotland, if you go to Oben, you will see in the r g Donde of Danolly Castle the largo rock, almost thirty feet high known! as Fingal's Club. And then, when' you take the little steamer to visit Staffa {and' ,lona which, by -the -way, has a very interesting history—I think you will agree with me in saying' that Fingel's• Cave is one of the world's greate2t curiosities.

The family name of Meldon' is not one which would be popularly regard- er as Irish, though there'd be no doubt 'about the forms Muldoon and O'Mul- d0on. - . Thera are two different irisb clan names from which these Aie.11ciaed forms have developed, and thee& is no method of telling from which any one of the three have come, in the ease of the individual, aside from. a geueelogl• cal research. You -could make a guess with some chance of beingright, if you knew the section of 'Ireland from which your ancestors came. In the ancient province of Meath was the headquarters 01 the clan "O'Maoldabhain," which was founded apparently about 870 A.D. by "Meet- dun" (from "maul." and Dublian,". meaning "follower of St. Dubhan), who was a brother of "Fogharthach" (Fo- garly), the 167th monarch, or "High - King" et Ireland. (This,ltne of "High- Kings" or em)eerors reaches from 1700 B.C. to the thirteenth deiftury A.D. In Tirowen was the clan kuowu as the "Ston Maolduin' It Is a branch of the O'Neills of Ulster. It waseestab- ilshed by "Moaldutu," the son' of "Aodh Ornaighe,' the 164th monarch of Ire- land. 3. Shareholders.
