At last Brian said, "Things are going ill with us, my brethren, in that we know no more at this day of the steeds or of the chariot than when we first arrived at this place." "What shall we do, then ?" said they.
"Let us do this," said Brian.

"Let us gird on our arms and all our marching array, and tell the King that we shall quit his service unless he show us the chariot." And so they did; and the King said, "To-morrow shall be a gathering and parade of all my host, and the chariot shall be there, and ye shall see it if ye have a mind." So the next day the steeds were yoked and the chariot was driven round a great plain before the King and his lords.

Now these steeds could run as well on sea as on dry land, and they were swifter than the winds of March.

As the chariot came round the second time, Brian and his brothers seized the horses' heads, and Brian took the charioteer by the foot and flung him out over the rail, and they all leaped into the chariot and drove away.

Such was the swiftness of their driving that they were out of sight ere the King and his men knew rightly what had befallen.
