The O'Driscols supported the men of God, and the friars saved the souls of the sons of the sea. But of all the O'Driscols none maintained Dunalong, or the Ship Castle, in such bravery as Sir Fineen — none perpetrated his preys by land, or his piracy 222 SIR FIN£SN o'dRISCOL. by sea with sach address and success. He and his natural son^ the dark Gillj Duf^ or black Gilbert, liyed in nght Milesian glory — ^what was gained by barbarian force was spent in profuse hospitality. The Ship Castle was th...e seat of their strength, and the storehouse of their plunder. There the pedlars came to purchase the soft goods and female drapery that were robbed or smuggled firom foreign vessels; here the inland gentry came to procure the pipes of wine and Cogniac brandy that were necessary to sup- port the hospitality of their inland fortresses; and thus Sir Fineen under the walls of Dunalong kept a sort of fair. The produce of his adyentures on the ocean was exchanged for the cattle and com of the rich plains of Tipperary and Limerick.
