He came, according to appointment, to a farmer's house in the direction of Rathgormack, bringing with him James Stephens, who was destined to be thenceforth the companion of my wanderings, privations and dangers.

He detailed to us, nearly as I have repeated it, the affair at Ballingarry.

When he reached the village of Urlingford, he found some difficulty in escaping from the very men he hoped to lead back to the conflict.

After vainly making every effort first to urge them on, and secondly to satisfy them of his own identity, he travelled a distance of thirty miles, and took shelter in the house of a private friend, where he hoped he could remain until something definite would be known of his comrades' fate.

That his stay was not of long duration, his appearance with us on Thursday, forty miles from the place of his concealment, amply testifies.
