Whether Elizabeth, or still more Sidney, were equally convinced of those services is an open question. Shane's career however was rapidly running to a close.
They marched eighteen miles that day, and camped for the night at Shane's crossing. Next morning they again moved forward, but in the course of the day, some thirty-six of their party abandoned the hazardous enterprise, and returned to the main army. The remainder pursued their route, and encamped that evening within twenty-four miles of fort Wayne.
No one had any objections so, after making a casual search about the cabin, and not finding anyone in hiding, the boys again got aboard the Dixie and started to cruise on the bay, that was now sparkling in the moonlight. Jack and his chums kept a careful watch for Denny Shane's boat.
Shane looked sharply at the old lady. "Is that so?" he said. "Did you hear this particular quarrel, ma'am?" "Not that I remember. If I did, I didn't take' much notice of it." "What was it about?" "Oh, the same old subject. Mrs, Embury wanted " "Aunt Abby, hush! What are you talking about! Leave me to tell my own secrets, pray!" "Secrets, ma'am?" Shane's cold blue eyes glistened.
I should like to tell you about some of the admirable charitable institutions of Belfast in which I became interested and describe some of the beautiful scenery of the neighborhood, but I have so many things and places to speak of in this chapter, that I must not allow myself to linger longer here. While at Belfast, we made a delightful excursion to Shane's Castle, the seat of Lord O'Neil.
Shane lay face down on the floor of the car, his bloody hands gripping his rifle. His position was inert, singularly expressive. Neale strode toward him. But Casey reached him first. He laid a hesitating hand on Shane's shoulder. "Shane, old mon!" he said, but the cheer was not in his voice. Casey dropped his pipe! Then he turned his comrade over.
They pulled Thomas Ballam's, and William Rogers's, and Stephen Sprake's carts into the road, and off came the wheels, and down fell the carts; and they found there was no linch-pins in the arms; and then they tried Samuel Shane's waggon, and found that the screws were gone from he, and at last they looked at the dairyman's cart, and he's got none neither!
One of them, the founder of the O'Neils, seeing that another boat was likely to reach the land before him, seized an axe and with it cut off his left hand, which he flung on shore, and so, was the first to 'touch' it." Shane's Castle and the O'Neil estate are situated upon Lough Neagh, the largest lake in Great Britain.
He crawled quietly to the Irishman. "Man, are you shot? Let me see." "Jist a bullet hit me, loike," replied Shane. Neale found that a bullet, perhaps glancing from the wood, had cut a gash over Shane's eye, from which the blood poured. Shane's hands and face and shirt were crimson. Neale bound a scarf tightly over the wound. "Let me take the rifle now," he said. "Thanks, lad. I ain't hurted.
He found the O'Donnells, though fewer in number than his own forces, established in a strong position upon the other side. From this position he tried to drive them by force, but the O'Donnells were prepared, and Shane's troops coming on in disorder were beaten back upon the river. The tide had in the meantime risen, and there was therefore no escape.
