New York Herald, June 3, Aman who gloried in being an Irish rebel, that is,'nn Irish patriot, and who fought in the ranks of the Insurgents at Vinegar Ill, dled yesterday in this elty at the patriarchal age of 103 years and S$ months. ‘The name of this historic veteran was Michael MceDon- ough, and his residences No, 166 Bayard street. He lind participated in tho most stirring military events of that eventful pe- rlod of Lrish history; had been # lender of the Whiteboys in the West of Ireland, and a pilot for the Freneh fleet. Subsequently he was engaged in the abortive and short- ved struggle under tho leadership of Robert Emmet. During the military relgn of terror which followed these sanguinary events he was arrested, with host of others, and suffered the martyrdum of patrlotism, Tie was throughout the protracted period of his allotted span an uncompromising rebel to British rule, Whenever the question of his advanced old age would be commented upon he would exclaim with hopefitl enthusiasm that he would lye long enough to bury tho Queen, and then, and not till then, he would be content to die. Alt hh. a Cathalle, ho had an unconquerable wv in to priests. Ho could not brovk the presence of one, aud on that account, had sternly refused to attend his Church or frequent ie sacraments, This resolution was unshaken until he found the hand of death heavy upon him, when he consented to die nt peace with the Churel, ‘When n Herald reporter called at the house of mourning yesterday the small, dingy apartinent was occupied by the vener- able wife of the dead man and half 9 dozen women cronies who hnd called to express tholr sytnpattiy. Tho body was inclosed Inn plain pine casket, resting In the front part of tho room. ‘Lhe present Mrs. McDonough Is nwrinkled, toothless old woman, who, in answer to a question as to the age of her husband, replied that she could not tell. She srid that she was his second wife; that his youngest daughter by a former spouse was BUI alive, and was over 70 years of age; that sho had always heard him say that he had been with Lord Edward Fitzgerald and Rob- ert Emmet; but her son had cautioned her to be silent about these matters, Jovy could she tell his age, she continued; or, for the matter of Hit her own nge? Cork people and Kerry folks dowt keep count of cach other’s ages; they live too long for that, ‘The son, Martin. McDonough, who was found at his residence in Park streot, ty a fairly Intelligent young man, 23 years of nge, and inarried, Hnrving taken a great interest from childhood in the exelting stories which his father had to tell of the old country, Martin, from heartug them frequently re- peated’ by fils fathor, had these paternal reminiscences at his fingers’ ends, He was, in fact, the custodian of historival traditions which few people living ever participated in, and which belong toa one generation, The stury related by the young man was whnost possessed of lilstorical aceurncy, His futhor Was born at Roundstone, County Gale way, In the year 1773, and at the ugeof 15 yes, he was a master weaver, But iittle ts nown of lin ex ep such fragments of his lifennd exploits as had been gleaned from Dhinself, He was a grown-up man at thothne (December, 1706) thet the French fleet, Under the command of Admiral Hoche, at- tempted to make n landing In Bantry Thy " and was dispersed ina violent storm. “th flect, Itneed not be mentioned, had been sent by tho first Napoleon to Invade Ireland in the interest of the insurgents, and Wolfe ‘Tone was the organizer of that {Mt-fated ox- pedition. ‘The youn rebel, McDonough, was then a local colebrity. Ile had | thrown himself heart and soul Into the Irish amove- ment, and had helped to urganiza the. young nen of his district. Whiteboyisin was then rampant in the West of Trefand, and to this organization the youthful rebel attached his polltteal fortunes, Iu had been accustomed 10 the rough western and northwestern coast from ehildhood, and his knowledge of the locality was taken advantage of by his colleagues. Ho had become tired of the loom, and now Ied the life of a buccancer, This’ experience singled bim out with a number of others as_ the proper persons to pilot tho French — ficet, fter tho hopes, of thelr first French oxpedition hud beon shattered by the inelement clements, the rebel pilot was obliged to fly to the mountains to escape tho pentlities of his political transgressions, Ho was, however, in read|ness to resume his lite bors when in. August, 1108, another French fleet, under Gen, Mumbert, made a landing fn Killaia Bay. ‘he renowned Napper ‘Tandy was the projector of the movement. A few months previously the battle of Vinegar HHL had beon gallantly fought and won by the In- strgent hosts, Young McDonouglr partict- puta In this memorable contest. Hy hid bean commissioned to rally:the rural White- boys and lead them to the rebel camp, where he and his followers arrived on the eve of the battle. Years subsequently the decensed used to describe the situation of atfaits as he found thom on his arrival. ‘The patriots, ho related, had an old cannon, made of sea- soned onk, which thoy, had chrts- tened “Long Tom.” — ‘fhis rudo tm plemont of war had been eft to season in the bogs for number of months, and, contrary to the expectation and experience of silitury men, did good service in the fight. “Long ‘Tom, when the thial ront_came, was stich an object of interest that MeDonongh and the remnant of lls ro- talnors carried it to a place of safety and hid itawny, “Prom that day to this,” tha uged chronicler used to boast, “no man had over seon ‘Long ‘Lom. It stills remains buried in the bogs.” He was accustomed to say that if ever ho returned to Ireland he would have It brought te lightas a historical curiosity, ‘as hy remoinbered tho spot quite well where it had been placed, ‘Tho duuntless young rebel was a marked wan. He escaped the slaughter which fol- Jowed, and being 0 stranger In that sectlon of tho country hie returned to the const in tine to kee the French land at Killala Buy and to welcome Gen. Humbert. fe was wong the first of tha couriers who had participated in the light to bring intelligence of tho struggle to those forces’ that were in readiness to join the French. But those sever and gitccessive movenients ended, usis known, in disaster and defeat. Not long aftarward the rebel soldier found him sel{n prisoner, An informer named Cos grove had given evidence orale MecDon- ough and a number of other Whiteboys. Cosgrove had muda arrangements with 9 vil- lage Dogberry to hand McDonough and his compnntons over to the tender mercies of the law, ‘This was subsequent to the ubor tive struggle Inaugurated by Robert Emmet, and while McDonough was still retained to watch the waters of the western coastdn the interest of the patriotic party, ‘Lholnformer had concerted with the Custle otticials that "It isnow ovor ‘| woman afratd of a cow?” and yot yo ong husayer on Inuding froni a skiff he would drop a pieco of ps et containing the names of seditious Whituboys, including McDonough and bis friends, ond this: proof was to be deemed suillolent to procure warrantstor thelr arrest. ‘The plan succecded, - The telt-tale document was brought to Mr, Martin, astipendlary ayngistrate, but upon a plea of sick: ness Mr, Martin doferred making out the warrants, ‘and: Jn the meanthne bad notified the implicated partles to fly the county ‘MeDonough with thirty men pub to ava in fishing smacks, while ‘twenty’ more suspected robols ‘fled to the “mountains, Finding that ¢ their arrest was only 0 guestion of.tine, Mr. Martin, who was fully in sympathy. with their politics, sent them word to sotura and give thomselves up, and they took hls advice. ‘Thetr trial resulted: in the imprisonment of McDonough and twelve of his comrands for ono year each and tho trans- portation for Ilfe of over thirty others, From Ireland McDonough went to Canada.
