XXXIV. HOW CIARAN VISITED SENAN

12. And having set forth on the way he found in his journey a poor

man, to whom, as he asked an alms of him, he made over his cloak. And

when he had arrived at the island of Cathacus, blessed Senanus learnt

of his arrival, the Spirit revealing it to him, and coming to meet him

he said as though smiling, "Is it not shame for a presbyter to journey

without a cloak?" For Senanus in the spirit knew how he had given it

to a poor man. And so he came to meet him with a cloak. And Keranus

said, "My elder," said he, "beareth a cloak for me under his vesture."
