hole at the bottom, like those usually seen in fonts and
piscinas. The basin, which I take to be an old font, was
formerly much respected by the neighbours, who conceived
some great misfortune would befall the person who should
attempt to remove it. A daring fellow, however, says a
story, once went with a team of oxen for the express purpose
of removing it. On his arrival at the spot, one of the oxen
fell down dead, which so alarmed the fellow that he desisted
from the attempt he was about to make. There are several
loose stones scattered round the basin or reservoir, perhaps
the remains of some building which formerly enclosed it,—
a small chapel likely." The font has been removed to a
place of safety at the suggestion of the rector of the parish,
and is now in the safe keeping of the owner of the property,
Mr. Peel, of Trenant. About two miles off from S. Cuby's
well is another ancient well in the parish of Pelynt, dedicated
to S. Non, his aunt, the mother of S. David.
Melyan, brother of S. Cuby, and prince of Cornwall,
was murdered about 524, by Rivold, his sister's husband,
who is also said to have instigated the murder of S. Melor,
the son of Melyan (January 3rd). Rivold entered Cornwall
with a hostile army, and subjugated the country. This
probably was the occasion of S. Cuby deserting Cornwall.
He left behind him a small vari-coloured handbell, " Parvum
digiti sui cimbalum varium;" then departed first for Wales,
after that for Ireland. He spent four years in the isle of Aran,
in which he built a church. At that time S. Enda shone as
a light in a dark world in Aran, and the barren island became
a gathering place of saints.1 There was Kieran, afterwards
abbot of Clonmacnois; S. Brendan, famed for his voyage of
exploration in the West; S. Finnian of Moville, S. Finnian
of Clonard, S. Jarlath of Tuam, S. Kevin of Glendaloch,
S. Carthage of Lismore, S. Nechan, and S. Libeus.
