I need not say that upon examining the coal-hole, and every other possible place of concealment there was no desperate leader found, nor any proof obtained that an entrance had been effected at all. 'Well, come, exclaimed O'Driscol, 'although the villain has escaped, we managed the thing well all of us he must have given me the slip from the kitchen and leaped out of a window.
I can see distinctly that they are such by the light of the moon." "Boys," said the Cannie Soogah, "disperse now and thank you; I feel your kindness, and I won't forget it you see the people of the house are alarmed but that's not the worst of it what," he added, with a peculiar smile, "if you bring that terrible dare-divil, O'Driscol, upon you!"
The woodwork of the cabins had been knocked into fragments, there was a great gaping hole in the stern, and it seemed to him that before long the vessel would be knocked to pieces. He returned to the deck, and reported the state of things. "It looks bad," the major said to O'Driscol.
"If everything be true that I have heard," said John, "the government would scarcely expect to hear such sentiments from the intelligent and determined Mr. O'Driscol." "Ha! ha! ha! well done, John, I drew you out.
Terence was not posted to his father's company, but was in that of Captain O'Driscol, although the lad himself would have preferred to be with Captain O'Grady, with whom he was a great favourite.

"You have done credit to the company, and to my choice of you, Terence," he said, warmly, as they stood together on the deck of the lugger.
Do you think, sir, that I Fitzgerald O'Driscol, am the man to be intimidated by blood-thirsty dogs like these? No, sir. I shall, at the proper time, arm myself, mount my good horse and ride, calm as a milestone, past the very spot. D n the rascals! do they think to terrify me?"
O'Driscol rivals Falstaff Who Buck English was supposed to be.
Purcel's immediate friends found it almost a matter involving their personal safety to dine with him. At all events, such of them as accepted his hospitality took care to leave his house very early, and to keep themselves well armed besides. On the evening in question, no one had been invited but M'Carthy and Fergus O'Driscol.
"Fergus," said she, looking at him with an expression of character still more comic, but yet sufficiently subdued to prevent O'Driscol from observing it, "is not that paragraph very complimentary to papa?" Fergus, who at once reciprocated the comic glance alluded to, replied rather significantly, "It is certainly very gratifying to him, Catherine."
