The Road to Glenbeg260 viewsRudyard Kipling wrote the following during a visit to Berehaven: All Ireland was new to me, and I went ashore to investigate Castletown’s street of white houses, to smell peat smoke and find Dan Murphy, owner of a jaunting car and ancient friend of the ward-room. In this quest, me and the Navigator mustered not less than half the male population of Cork County, the remainder being O’Sullivans; but we found Dan at last – old, grizzled, with an untamable eye, voluble and beautifully Celtic. ‘Will I meet ye to-morrow at Mill Cove at nine-thirty? I will. Here’s my hand an’word on it. Will I drive to Glenbeg for fishing? I will. There’s my hand an’word on it. Do I mean it? Don’t I know the whole livin’fleet, man an’boy, for years?May 28, 2008
