| GIANT'S WELL, CO. ANTRIM. -In the midst of the manifold wonders of the Causeway, gushes slowly but steadily, the translucent pool of cold water, known as the "Giant's Well." This giant was evidently well provided with all ancient and modern improvements, which even still bear the designations of the "Giant's Chair," the "Giant's Bagpipes," the "Giant's Basin," the "Giant's Organ" and many other terms of legendary fame. The Well itself is situated on the land section of the Causeway and is a comparatively small cavity, filled with water of exceptional clearness. Truth may, or may not, lie at the bottom of this well, but it is certain that three hexagon figures, surrounded by nine basaltic pillars, are visible in its depths. In fact, the regularity of the formation is positively startling. Facilities for partaking of the refreshing liquid lie around the limpid pool in liberal fashion, although only three vessels -a time measure, a china cup and a regulation hotel glass, are visible in the sketch. The peasantry of the coast, always given to the romantic and supernatural, assert that occasionally on moonlight nights in the summer, the Giant visits the well equipped with a flask of genuine poteen, and diluting it with the sparkling water, takes a quiet drink all by himself. |
