Unless they smell a rat all will be done without any trouble.
"Success to you.

Hoping to meet soon,--Yours as ever.
"(Signed) JOHN J.O'CONNOR."[6] Despatches were at once sent off to the authorities at different points.
They were all transmitted, except to Cahirciveen, the wires to which place were found to have been cut.

Mr.Colomb--who had a force of but seventeen men in the town of Killarney--saw the uselessness of trying to communicate with the officer at Cahirciveen, but was so strongly urged by the magistrates that he unwillingly consented to endeavour to do so, and a mounted orderly was sent.

Just after this unfortunate officer had passed Glenbehy (the scene of the eviction I have just witnessed) he was shot by some of O'Connor's party, whom he tried to pass in the dark, and who were marching on Killarney, and fell from his horse, which galloped off.

He managed to crawl to a neighbouring cottage, where he was not long after found by "General O'Connor" and some of his followers.
