'Fwhy not? said Dan, with a twinkle in his eye as he stretched himself for rest. 'Are we not conspirin' all we can, an' while we conspire are we not entitled to free dhrinks? Sure his ould mother in New York would not let her son's comrades perish of drouth if she can be reached at the end of a letter. 'You're a janius, said Horse Egan. 'O' coorse she will not.
Mulcahy tore on, sobbing; the straight-held blade went home through the defenceless breast, and the body pitched forward almost before a shot from Dan's rifle brought down the slayer and still further hurried the Afghan retreat. The two Irishmen went out to bring in their dead. "He was given the point, and that was an easy death," said Horse Egan, viewing the corpse.
Egan on recovering, laughingly said: "I name you Calamity Jane, the heroine of the plains." I have borne that name up to the present time.
"I don't know what other people think about matches being made in heaven," said Growling, "but I have my suspicions they are sometimes made in another place." "Oh, fie, doctor!" said Mrs. Egan. "The doctor, ma'am, is an old bachelor," said Father Phil, "or he wouldn't say so." "Thank you, Father Phil, for so polite a speech."
From Simpson's to Camp Floyd rode John Fisher, and from the latter place Major Egan carried the mail into Salt Lake City, arriving April 7, at 11:45 P. M.

She is a fine woman, is Nurse Egan, and I owe her a great deal. I only hope things turn out so well that I can give her a good fat wedding-present. But I shan't be able to do anything that's close to my heart if I can't get the cash for my share in the syndicate." "Courage, soldier, as Kitty Tynan says," responded Jesse Bulrush cheerily. "You never know your luck.
When I started a new series of my "Irish Library" in January, 1902, I received words of encouragement from John Redmond, from Michael Davitt, and from other distinguished Irishmen, but there was none I valued more highly than the letter of appreciation of my works from Pat Egan. Of these he asked me to send him a set, including my "Irish in Britain."

Report, p. 97. MS. notes taken down from Mr. Egan. Joseph Crosfield's Report to the Society of Friends, p. 145. James H. Tuke's report to the same Committee, p. 147. In Irish corrac, pr. corrach or currach. This primitive boat was made of a slight frame work of timber and covered with skins, whence its name. In early times corrachs were used in all the British islands.
