On Dreaded Apparition Is the Fairy Horit, Whos Mission Is 0n of Malic Tho Lur of th Peuktsn and th Song of th Fir-Darrlg. No wonder strango superstitions tin gcr In the scattered hamlets by the sea or In the lonely cabins on the rooky is lands rouud the Iron coast, for ou win tor niguts when too mighty surges break thundering against tho towering cliffs and the storm wind wails weird ly through tho hollow caverns ami lvlod ruins, where the deserted fortresses of the powerful chieftains of bygone days look down on the foaming waves and the cry -of the gulls and curlew echoes over rock shores and across wide loughs ami estuaries, one might well fancy that the sounds were the voice of giants or wizards doomed for their sins to wander forever round this coast, the mournful wall of the "ban shee" or of "the Wblto Lady of the Cliffs" a famous Munster apparition. Women and children, crouching over the fire of driftwood, pent or furze branches flaming (ltfully on the ohmi hearth, cross themselves as a louder wall rings through the darkness or a rumbling sound Is heard that to their ears seems to be the rolling of the wheels of "the headless coach" or "death conch." so called In the County Cork because horses ami driver art Supposed to be headless. Tho coach man Is the dulluhan that Is, a dark or sullen person, n goblin of most mnlignunt (imposition. This phantom Is said to "follow" many old Munster families, the vehi cle lumbering heavily up the avenue and stopping nt the front door when ever a death Is about to occur In the house. I know numbers of persons and not by any means merely unedu cated peasants who are persuaded that they Lave heard the rumbling of the headless coach. Needless to say. the noise of a heavy cart at night along an unfrequented road Is suffl clent to terrify superstitious people Into believing that they have beard the death coach. Tbey take good care not to see It! Another much dreaded apparition Is the phooka, or fairy horse, a very ma licious spirit that Is said to appear In the shape of a beautiful coal black steed with fire darting from his eyes and nostrils. Occasionally he adopts the form of a black bull or goat, and sometimes he appears as an awful compound of sev eral black animals horse, bull, goat and ram. In his equine form be Is said to amuse himself by enticing soli tary travelers whom he meets after dark into mounting him, and as he In variably looks like a "nate cut of a horse," such as every Irishman appre ciates, he Is said to succeed very fre quently in his nefarious plan. The instant the rider Is on his back the elfin steed dashes off madly through stream, lake and bog hole, thicket and coppice, hedge and ditch, marsh and ravine, till the terrified mortal, drench ed, torn and bruised, shrieks for mercy or perhaps remembers to gasp out a prayer, when with a furious bound the phooka flings him off, preferably Into a muddy pool or a furze brake, and darts away, leaving the unhappy rider to pick himself up, Invariably finding that he is miles out of bis way. Sudden falls are attributed to this malignant sprite, and many a man who has lost bis way or met with an acci dent coming home from fair or funeral on a dark night Is convinced for the rest of his days that he has been led astray by the phooka, although his troubles were possibly due to a yet more potent spirit. Dangerous rocks and crags are often called "carrig-na-phooka" (rock of the phooka), just as deep pools or holes In a river or bog are "poul-na-phooka." A beautiful wa terfall In Wicklow bears this name. The "poukeen," as he Is sometimes called. Is also said to adopt the form of a great black bird or a bat. The latter Is greatly feared by the country folks. In the bat form he Is supposed to lure people Into climbing lvled walls and towers, from which he throws them, an Idea which seems to bear some relation to the vampire stories of eastern Europe. He is the pouke of Spenser, and from breaking the necks of the unwary to spoiling the black berries on Michaelmas eve In order to vex the archangel there are few enor mities of which he Is not guilty, ac cording to popular belief. "Puck, the household fairy," of Eng lish legend finds his Irish counterpart In the 13r-darrlg, or red man, a mer ry goblin, very similar to the Scotch red cap, or brownie. lie is, said to be dressed In scarlet. The nttlre of most, of the Irish fairies Is supposed to con sist of a green suit, red shoes, long while stockings and a red or black cap with an eagle's leather. This little red clad sprite Is said to be remarkable for the extreme beauty of his voice, which, according to the now fast disappearing race of story tellers, Is "like the sound of the waves," "the music of angels or the warbling of birds." , A sweet voice Is highly esteemed In Erin, where a girl possessing that 'excellent thing lu women" Is said to be able to "coax the birds off the bushes."
