And there was peace. And the Herring said:

"In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost!"

their fins and their claws, each after his kind, and repeated as with

one voice:

"_An ainm an Athar, 's an Mhic, 's an Spioraid Naoimh!_"

trailed a starry net upon the waters, with a shining star in every

little hollow, and a flowing moon of gold on every wave.

of God that are in the deeps of the sea and that are in the deeps of

Iona, and within the air above Hy, and within the sea that is around

Hy.

And the glory is Colum's.
