The smell of roasting flesh was still around the blazing buildings at ten o'clock, when we brought in the last of the dead some of them mere boys of thirteen and laid them out in dread rows like a Raemaeker cartoon. One lad of twelve whom I carried in I afterwards interrogated as to why he was out in such an exposed position.
In the yard the Raemaeker picture of the dead soldiers Sinn Feiners was broader by some half-dozen: for several had died of wounds during the night.
There were reminders, too, of the things which were happening across the sea, a cartoon or two, a small reproduction of a terrible Raemaeker print; verse, much of it They have taken your bells, O God, The bells that hung in your towers, That cried your grace in a lovely song, And counted the praying hours! The little birds flew away!
