"What may be termed the central authority of the Brotherhood, within the Senate, stands thus, Dec., 1868: "PRESIDENT GENERAL JOHN O'NEILL. Executive Committee VICE PRESIDENT GIBBONS, P.J. MEEHAN and E.L. CAREY. Acting Sec. of War P.J. MEEHAN. Assistant Treasurer JOHN P. BROPHY. Sec. of Civil Affairs DAN. O'SULLIVAN, of Auburn.
As stated in the note, it was Tim Brophy, the young Irishman, who made the discovery in time to prevent the family being overwhelmed and massacred.
Maggie jerked her flaxen locks backwards with a slightly defiant air, and inquired of her parent if she was comin' on out o' that. Mrs. Kinsella in return curtly desired her to be off with herself, an' not be standin' there givin' her impidence, an' Mrs. Brophy maybe killin' herself wonderin' what could be in the letther at all.
"What I don't know," he soliloquized, "won't hurt me any." But he had not been there many days before the piecing together of chance remarks and the gossip of the hangers-on and other sparring partners made it very apparent why Brophy should not be badly man-handled. As it finally revealed itself to Jimmy it was very simple indeed.
We saw several mobs of grey kangaroos feeding in the timber queer, uncanny beasts, pretty enough when they jump along, but very quaint when feeding, as they tuck their great hind legs up to try and make them match the fore. On December 4th we arrived at Hall's Creek; the first man we met was Sergeant Brophy, of the Police the first white face we had seen since July 21st.
It seemed that one of the principal requisites of the position was a willingness to take punishment without attempting to inflict too much upon Young Brophy. The manager did not go into specific details as to the reason for this restriction, and Jimmy, badly in need of a job, felt no particular inclination to search too deeply for the root of the matter.
It was in this rude shelter that Warren Starr and Tim Brophy had spent a couple of nights in comparative comfort. The second one was bitterly cold, and they kindled a fire near the entrance. The smoke caused some trouble, but wrapped in their thick blankets, and stretched out back to back, they slept as soundly as if in their beds at home.
The result was the disheartening conviction that they were no nearer Fort Meade than when they forded the last stream early on the preceding night. We must not forget that young Warren Starr and Tim Brophy have an important part to play in the incidents we have set out to relate.
"Of course, but father is away off the track. More than half a day has passed since he left home, and he is hardly a quarter of the way to Fort Meade." "He is just as near as we are, and he didn't start any sooner," was the significant remark of Tim Brophy. "But that was his destination when he set out, while our business has been to find him."
For two rounds the young man had permitted Brophy to make a monkey of him, hitting him where he would at will, while Jimmy, as a result of several weeks of diligent practice, was able to put up apparently a very ferocious attempt to annihilate his opponent without doing the latter any material damage.
