New York Herald, June 14, On Mondny wmorning Willlum Fo)c{. one of the Fenlan prisoners recently confined In West- ern Australa, arrived in this dty from Queens- town on the steamship Wisconsin, When the news of the escape of the prisoners reached Liere » fow days ago it was thought that Foley wns among the nuiber, but it now appears that Tis sentence expired last January, aud he sufled from Pertl, Western Australls, on the 16Lh of that month for London. From London he pro- ceeded to Dublin, and after spendlug o fort- night there went o Lis Lome in Tipperary, but finding none of his fricuds there except one unele, & very old nan, he went to Cork, where he remained but ten days, when he started for New York, Onurriving in this city he went to O'Dunovan-Russu’s hotel and asked where a certaln ex-Fenlan organizer, under whose orders he was placed when in Treland, could be found, und would give no {nformation to any one else. His whole conduct wasa striking, though rather amusing, illustration of the firm hold which the old Fenlun disclpline, as eurried out autony the Irish soldiers of the Brit- ish Army, still bas on the winds of thuse who ware oncie under fta sway. Ou belug Introduced to O'Donovan-Rosas, Thomus ¥, Tsnurkc, and other promineut Irlsh Nationalists who hap- pened o be present when hearrived, the former usked hin severwl questions as to where hg caune from, sud what wanted with the ex. arganizer, but he would give ubiolutely vo fn. forpiation t) he repurted to hils old chilef snd received Instructions whaut to do und what per- sons wero safe to apeak to. His name, bis sun-browned face, his peculiar bat, and wany clreumstunces about hils wppear- apee and wenuer convineed thuse prescut thut be was ouc of the Fenfan prisouers, and many eager luquiries were iwade voncerning the escapes but as Fuley had not heard the news tiil luformed of ft by O'Donovau-llusas snd his fricuds, hls invarfuble answer was that he would be very glud if It wos true, but that be did not bellevd 1t and kiew nothln ubout It. - After some hours' walting the 1uun he sought wna found and brouglit to where the ex-British sal. dier and political prisoner wua standing fu the midst of an eager crowd. After teu yeurs' sep- srutfon each recoguized the other “instantly, though the dashing dragoon was sully chauged for the worse, and'a Learty greeting’ followed. He was tuken awsy from the crowd us svon ss pussible, sud then the tongue ' which had refused {n-puu wus unlovsed, and muny {nteresting facta lu connection with the preparations for the rescue were made known, The milssing lnk ‘was found, and a more jntelligent tdea of the whole affalr can thus bo formed. The Lollowiug 13 the substance of Foley's story, piven to u Herald reporter by the gentleman who received i ‘Toward the end of last November two geutle- men urrived in Western Austratia, ond knowivg the muans, ut once placed theimselves in con: munieation with thp prisoners aud commenced [ l.huruughl{(uurvu the ‘im"m on which they were to work. Fuley, being on ticket-of-leave at the time, and having just got out of hospital, where by Lud been sullerlug frots heart-discase, was futroduced to onu of thew by u friend, an ou the stranger giving him certaln Information which showed b whut his misston was, sn un- derstunding was arrived ut. A great deal of delicaty work bad to bu dono and cvery precan- tlon taken to uvoid sttructing the sttention of the autborities, but up to the lust moment of Foley's stay fu the volony not the [cast suspicion was arouscl. ‘The twougonts each followed & Jegltimato occupation and ucted fu cvery way as it polng to make thetr houe kn Westeru Aus- ufih, o bent solely yu muking lasting business connections with the colony, and 8o discrect were thelr movements and conduct that no one dreamed they were anything but what they aj peared to be. Y1 asked no questions, “said Foley, “nnd they told me nothing which T bad not n right to know.” ‘Toward the close of the spring of last year all the prisoners not on ticket-of-leave, and ‘two of the men who hiad tickets-of-leave, were sent In from the various gangs in which they Imd been working throuph the bush and lodged In_the principal convict statlon at Fremantle, Thelr names were James Wilson, Martin Hogun, Thomas Hassett, Thohas Darragh, Michacl Harrington, Robert Cranston, and James Kelly, Iife-sentenced men, and Thomas Delancy and James McCoy, whose tiekets-of-leave were re- voked. These were all, with the cxception of Wilson, engaged In_constructing a reservole within the prison of Fremantle, which s situ- ated on a hill, intended to supply water to the shipping i thie hacbor. Wilson was trainlig a horse for the doctor of the prison, and this em- ployment enabled blin to go out of the prisun several times each day, and gave him m:ul{ n- cllitles for perfecting the |lylan of escape, Many disappointments occurred, huwever, owing to unforescen aceldents, and one golden opportu- nity wus lost through falling to conncet with » ceriain ship, The =bility of the sgents was tested o the utmost, and the pu- tience of the expectant prisoners was sorcly tried, Btill nothing vcenrred to arouse the susplcion of the prison officials, and nn one con- nected with the attempt Jost heart, Two days before l-‘ulcz took his departure he hud an fn- terview with Wilvon, and on the former usking bin bow he shoull correapond with him, Wilson eafd, * Don't write to us uny more; I any con- fdent we shall all follow ‘yuu soon,” When taking his leave two days [ater neither could speak, but could only exchange a silent but hearty sbake of the hand. This was on Jan, 16. Foley took his passage on u sailing-vessel for London, and after a voyage of ninety-four days arrivea In that city. ’l'lml:{;l.\ lie coulidl not feel sure that all had cscaped, Foley expressed the t;m'.uui'. cunfi- dence I thie sufety of those whio had got on Lonrd the Amerfeatt ship. The Georgette, which was sont fn pursuit of the Catalpa, sccording to the statements of the Bydney pupers, tele- graphed here from San Franclaco, f4 only a sl werew steamer, bullt on the Clyde, about 200 tons burden, whicls 18 employed in carrylng the malls from ‘.Ihum‘»lou Bay, the most north- ern scttlement fu West Australla, w Kiog George's Hound, which is the must soutberly point’ ot which vessels call fn the swmc colony, aud she js manned by only ten men ot the most—ordinary saflors who tever saw any service. In Pertliand Fremantle there are not more than thirty policemen at any tine, and if all of those who went on bowrd the Georgette, the relcased soldlers and their frieuds would make short work of them lu a hand-to-laud fight. The only artillery In the colony Is Perth—four old’3-pounders belonging to s com- pany of volunteers, the members of “which live seattered through the surrounding country, and could not be grot together at short notice, “Fhere arc about forty retired soldiers living in the ueighburhood ol Per ut they are all vld men, ‘could not be collected at wiy shorter notice than the volunteers, It would tuke some time to unlimber the guns, get the Georgette ready, aud prepure for o pursuit, aud tue polnton | the coast selected for the rendezvous, aceord- i to arrangenents made previous to Foley's depurture, Is ubout 25 miles frum Fremuntle. verything eonsidered, it would take several duys 10 enuble the Georgette to start ln pursuit, and by that time the Catalpa, orany other vessel on which they wmight be, would be_ beyond . ber reach, Theén the Geor- gette could not be provistoned for o long cruise, nor could the police foree nor the pensioners be spared from the colony for any length of time, and there wus no ship'of war at all fu the neigh- borhood. Altogether the chanves of the recap- ture of the prisuuers by the Georgette appear to be very rewmote, even 11 ehe would rigk boarding sn Auierican ship on the high seus. Boats had been already secured when Foley left to aceom- modatc all the prisoners, and “convey them a sulliclent distunce out to ses, 5o thut they night not get on board any ship in Britlsh ‘waters, # Thie news,” aald Foley, * seeins too good to be true; it i so short u time since I saw them within the prison walls, aud ail 1 can say is, Gud speed them on thelr way, and may God bless the Yankee Captain that tock them aboard.!” Foley 1883 yuars of age, and enllated in 1853 in the Bombay Horse Artillery, under the East India Compuy, und served all through the Se- poy rebellion,” In 1839 he returned to England, und soon after re-enlisted fn the Fifth Dragoon Guards, in which regiment he remained till his arrest for Fenianist in February, 1866.
