She wants to wel- to the old house in which was born. But vain. so far she waits and waits in For the old woman is Mrs. Mannix and her =on is the famous archbishop of the diocese of Melbourne, Dr. Mannix made some speeches that the British government did not like. He had bitterly at- tacked England with regard to her policy in Ireland. He croesed over from America. His ship, the Baltic, was due to land at Liverpool. That great seaport has thousands of Irish citizens. They pre- pared to give him a great welcome. But the government announced Dr. Mannix would not be allowed to land in Liverpool nor go to Manchester or Glasgow. Accordingly a fleet of destroyers met the Baltic and one of them took Dr. Mannix off, landing him at Penzance, down in Cornwall. And he is still in England, although he still hopes to go to Ireland.
