We left him about nine o'clock in the evening, after the best dispositions available out of the number with us were made to prevent surprise during the night.

Soon after our departure he strongly advised Mr.Dillon to leave for another part of the country.

I proposed to take up my post on Slievenamon, where I would be in the best position to fulfil Mr.O'Brien's wishes; where, at all events, I could escape arrest, in spite of any efforts to capture me, and where I expected, in a few days, to rally a considerable force.

Mr.Meagher said he would take his stand on the Comeragh mountains, in the county of Waterford, with similar views and purposes.

Mr.Meagher and Mr.Leyne, with three or four others, travelled together on a car.
