XXXVI. THE REMOVAL OF THE LAKE

25. Near that place of Saint Kiaranus there was an island in a

lake, on which a certain lord was dwelling in his fortress with his

followers; and the noise of their uproar was hindering the prayers of

the holy men in their _cella_. When Saint Kyeranus saw this, he went

out to the shore of the lake, and prayed there to the Lord, that He

would give them somewhat of relief from that island. On the following

night that island, with its lake, was removed by the divine power, far

away to another place, where the noise of the mob of that island could

not reach the saints of God. And unto this day there is to be seen the

place of the lake, where it had been before, some of it sandy, some of

it marshy, as a sign of the act of power.
