Eachtra Ghiolla an Amaráin (Adventures of a Luckless Fellow), a lengthy poem by Donncha Ruadh Mac Conmara describing his possibly imaginary emigration to Newfoundland and written about 1750. The goddess Aoibheall of Craig Liath [see Cúirt an Mheán-Oíche] appears to the poet when he is seasick, and takes him to Acheron.
