THE OTHERS.

In 1912, while exploring caverns in the Burren, the limestone part of West Claro, he writes, Captain H. E, Kentish and I heard of an enormous cave at Caherbul logh, six miles from Lisdoonvarna, open- ing out of a deep pot-hole on the slope of Slieve Elva

Along this we made our way, scrambling or wading-alten in the water, up to our waists and sometimes up to the neck. About 1,500 yards in we encountered a big waterfall coming from the roof and soon afterwards reached a wide pool where another stream, slightly- bigger than ours, entered from the north- east. The united waters ran shead due, south, with continual windings, pools and rapids, the going, very difficult and alow for the most part.

As our carbide was getting low we had to return after travelling a little over a mile, and, unfortunately, were unable to pay the cavern another visit.

Captain Kentish fell in action in 1918.
