AbstractHistoryArchive Description
Tragic Irish legend set near Kerryhead. An Irish coastal chieftain, father of seven daughters fiercely hates the raiding Danes. A Danish ship is captured and the crew killed with the exception of the captain and his six brothers. The inevitable happens but the 14 are captured in their attempt to flee to Denmark, the chieftain ordering the death of his daughters by throwing them into a chasm into which the waves dashed like lava up a volcanic crater.
