He, too, had ideals, even as had Ikey Snigglefritz; and sometimes, hopeless of attaining them, his own solid success was as dust and ashes in his mouth. And Mrs. William Darragh McMahan wore a look of discontent upon her plump but pretty face, and the very rustle of her silks seemed a sigh.
They were discussing the morrow, which logically led to a consideration of the ice-pack, among other things, and thence to Cap'n Barney Hodge's ill luck. "Take a hard and early winter," old Bill Darragh, the dean of the boatmen, was saying, "then a thaw in the middle o' December, and then a friz-up, and ye git conditions that ain't propitious, as ye may say, fur towboatmen nur fur us, neither."
We finally arrived at Glen Darragh, and I gazed about in vain to see the ruins of a temple. . . . We came at last to some mounds of earth, with rough stones on their tops, but I could discover no design or order to them, and was quite cast down.
Not a tree or a shrub grew near, but grand mountains rose up on every side. Glen Darragh means the vale of oaks, but not an oak could be seen. The singular destruction of trees in this be-battled, be-conquered island is unaccountable. Why invaders should uproot such innocent adorners of the earth is a mystery.
In fact, so marked had this been that the Queen's manner toward me became more distant every day; thanks to Lady Morley-Frere, Mary Darragh, and the other busybodies who had the royal ear, and hated me.

It was this weapon that had deceived the witness for the prosecution to such an extent that he wrongly swore to it as being his own manufacture. Daniel Darragh, who was also put upon his trial for supplying the weapons for the Manchester Rescue, was not so fortunate as his friend Hogan, for he was convicted.
Harmar, your sex nobly maintained their reputation for devotion and patriotism during the Revolution," said Wilson. "Did you ever hear how a Quaker lady, named Lydia Darragh, saved the army under Washington from being surprised?" "No, never," replied Mrs. Harmar. "No! Then, as a Philadelphia lady, you should know about it," said Wilson.
Money was soon raised, for our people are ever generous and equal to the occasion when it arises. Daniel Darragh about whom I shall have more to say later was sent to Birmingham, where by the aid of William Hogan he purchased and brought back with him sufficient revolvers to arm the volunteers for the rescue.
"The colour kind of went out of the girl's cheeks. Eastern folks are scandalous afraid of Injuns. "'Perhaps I'd better not start? says she. "'Don't you be scart, miss, says Darragh. 'You're all right as long as you're with Red he's the toughest proposition we've got in this part of the country. "'I'm obliged to you, Darragh, says I. He meant well, but hell's full of them people.
