"As soon as the morning was come, Iron- bones, who had got neither food nor sleep the whole night, came down from the mountain's side and awoke Bodach, telling him that it was time to commence their con- test. " The Bodach raised his head, rubl)ed his eyes, and replied : "'Ihave another hour to sleep yet, and when I get up I have to eat a half hog and drink a barrel of wine; but as you seem to be in a hurry you have my consent to pro- ceed on your way before me, and you may be sure I will follo...w you.' " So saying, he laid his head down, and fell again snoring ; and upon seeing this Ironbones began the i-aee by himself, but he moved along heavily and dispiritedly ; for he began to have a great dread and many misgivings by reason of the indifference with which the Bodach appeared to regard the issue of the contest. " When the Bodach had slept some time he got up, washed his hands and face, and hav- ing placed his bread and meat on the table' he proceeded to devour them with great ex- pedition, and then washed them down with his barrel of wine, after which he collected together all the bones of the hog, and put them into a pocket in the skirt of his coat.
