Mr.O'Mahony and myself slept on some straw, but we had scarcely closed our eyes when we learned that the cabin was surrounded by the military and police.

We were apprised of our perilous position just in time to escape: this we effected, after a struggle, aided by extreme darkness.

We spent the remainder of the night in a field, where I slept very soundly.

At break of day we retired to a farmer's house near the Suir, where, after partaking of some refreshments, we went to bed, and slept, one or two hours.

The breakfast scene of that morning is not easily forgotten.
