We were to be joined by two others from the neighbourhood of Carrick-on Suir, from which we were distant about ten miles.

On that morning the news of Mr.
O'Brien's disaster spread far, and was, of course, exaggerated.

I had slept the previous night not far from the mountain, where I was watched by two brothers named Walsh, who lived at Brookhill, but have since removed to the United States.

I gladly avail myself of this occasion to attest their fidelity and bravery.

At the time appointed, my friend and I proceeded to the place of rendezvous.
