At length the breeze reached us, and hoisting our sails as well as our strength would allow, we stood in a direction to come across the course the stranger was steering. I told Kelson, in a whisper, to assist me in keeping a watch on O'Carroll, for as we drew nearer the stranger, so did his uneasiness increase, and he was evidently still under the impression that she was the dreaded Mignonne.

"You knock up the skipper's arm, while I seize the other fellow," exclaimed O'Carroll to me, springing forward. I did as he bid me; he ran a great risk of being shot. The mate turned on O'Carroll with an oath, and the captain snapped his pistol at me, but fortunately he had already discharged it, and in another instant I brought him, as he attempted to grapple with me, to the ground.

His eldest, who, strange to say, for an O'Donahue, was a quiet lad, he had as a favour lent to his brother, who kept a small tobacconist and grocer's shop in Dublin, and his brother was so fond of him, that eventually O'Carroll O'Donahue was bound to him as an apprentice.

I shall try your patience some rainy morning, Mr Larynx; and Mr Listless shall recommend us the very newest new book, that every body reads.

By the Lord, we will drink to his administration, you in chocolate, I in Madeira. O'Carroll, you dog, O'Carroll rogue rascal ass dolt!" "The same, your honour," said the orange-coloured lacquey, thrusting in his lean visage. "Ay, the same indeed, thou anatomized son of Saint Patrick; why dost thou not get fat?

I hope while I live that I may never again be in your hands!" exclaimed O'Carroll, interrupting him. "You remember how you treated me?" "Oh, well! and it is in your power to inform the captain of this frigate, and probably he will treat me in the same way." "No, indeed!

By LOUIS ELY O'CARROLL, B.A., B.L. In the dark ages of Europe, whilst new civilizations were in the making and all was unrest, art and religion, like the lamp of the sanctuary, burned brightly and steadily in Ireland, and their rays penetrated the outer gloom. Scattered through the libraries of Europe are the priceless manuscripts limned by Irish scribes.

Child! and the cursed Salop puts not its /trust/ even in princes; 'tis its way; 'Gad now, you have not a guinea about you?" What could I say? My guinea joined Tarleton's, in a visit to that bourne whence no /such/ traveller e'er returned. Mr. O'Carroll now vanished in earnest, the wine and the chocolate soon appeared. Mr.

Being sent with too small a detachment against the savage Indians, their commander, Benavides, cut his forces in pieces and murdered all the officers in a most cruel manner.
