| SHANE'S CASTLE, CO. ANTRIM.- Although finally unsuccessful in his fight for liberty, and cursed with not a few of the vices of the age in which he lived, Shane Dymas, or Shane the Proud O'Neill, ranks among the ablest and bravest of the many chieftains of his gallant, kingly house who fought and died for Ireland. Had he known, like his kinsmen and successor, the great Hugh, how to conciliate the Irish as well as thrash the Englsh, Ulster and, probably, all Ireland, would have been freed from the Saxon yoke. |
