62 Mar a Chaidh an Tuairisgeiil rndr a Ckur gu Bch.gathered from oral sources, that it is given exactly as it came tohand, and that it is as free to the reader to draw his own conclusionsfrom the language, or any other part of it, as to theperson who committed it to writing. The tale was at one timewell known. Many old people have heard its title, but it requireda search to find any one who could go through its incidents. Ofthese there were various versions. The attention is kept alive bythe name ; it is only at the end that the listener becomes awarethat the " Great Tuairisgeul " was a giant of the kind called''\amhanalch—that is, one who lived in a cave by the sea-shore,the strongest and coarsest of any. The translation is literal inthe pi'oper sense of the word—that is, each clause is rendered bythe English expression which conveys to the English reader thesame idea and the .same phase of thought that the Gaelic conveysto the Gaelic reader. When there is anything noticeable in thedifference of idiom, it is pointed out.]'S e mac rlgh Eirinn a bh' ann, agus bha e dol do'n bheinn-.sheilg •agus bhiodh uaisleau oga 'ga choinneachadh an sin.Bha e an sina'tighiiin dachaidh oidhche bial an anmoich, agus chunnaic e frasa'tighinn air as an aird'-an-iar; agus thainig olach inor as an fhrois,agus steud bhriagh aige, agus an t-aon bhoirionnach 'bu bhriagha'chunnaic e riamh aige air an steud air a chulaobh. " An tu so,a mhic righ Eirinn ?" thuirt e. "Is mi," thuirt mac righ Eirinn." An iomair thu cluich riumsa ? " " lomairidh," thuirt mac righEii'inn ;" cha b'ann ri m dhaoine fein a rachainn mur iomairinncluich riutsa. Thoisich iad air a' chluich, 's chaidh a' chluich lemac righ Eirinn. " Tog brigh do chluiche," thuirt an t-61ach. "Ise brigh mo chluiche-sa, am boirionnach briagh so bhi leam a' doldachaidh." Dh'tholbh e, 's thug e leis i, agus rainig e'n tigh.Co moch a 's 'g an d'thainig an latha maireach, rinn e deas air sondol do 'n bheinn-sheilg ; agus thuirt am boirionnach ris, " Tha thuair son falbh an diu, agus coinnichidh am fear ud thu an nochdfhathasd. Theid e dh'iomairt cluiche leat, agus th^id a' chluichleatsa, agus na gabh ni ach an steud a tha aige fodha."Dh'fholbhe, 's thug e a' bheinn-sheilg air ; agus anmoch dar a bha e a' tighinndachaidh, chunnaic e fras a' tighinn air as an aird-an-iar, mar a rinne roimhe ; agus thainig an t-61ach sin air lar, agus an steud aige."An tu so, amhicrigh £iriim?" "Is mi," thuirt mac righ Eirinn?"""An iomair thu cluich rium an nochd, a mhic righ Eirinn ?" lomairidh," thuirt mac righ Eirinn ;" cha b'ann li m' dhaoine
