Note 234 — Chapter XXXV · LAST PHASE OF THE WAR, 1652

Ludlow, i. 320, and his letter of June 24 to Lenthall, ib. 526. There is a good memoir on the siege of Ross by J. P. Prendergast in Kilkenny Arch. Journal, iii. 24-35, and a criticism of the same by Archdeacon Rowan in the Kerry Magazine, 1855, p. 101. Chudleigh’s monument at Kinsale says he ‘causavit terris velificasse ratem,’ which is rather ambiguous, for no boat could actually sail on land. Perhaps it is doubtful Latin for ‘inland.’ Smith, in his History of Kerry, 1756, p. 315, says the boats were ‘brought up by the river Lane by strength of men’s hands,’ and he afterwards mentions one Hopkins, sexton of Swords near Dublin a few years before, who lived to be 115, and who was one of the men employed in drawing the boats to the lake.
