Red Cross men standing at Cathedral Street ran quickly toward them, at the same time shouting to the National troops in Hickey's establishment to cease fire. “A heavy pall of smoke hid Find- later Lane from view, and the Na- tional forces, unconscious of the capit- ulation, kept up a steady stream of fire on the Granville Hotel. A Red ‘Cross man, said to be Dr, Brennan of Boston, dashed through a shower of bullets and made known the surren- der. Two minutes later firing ceased on all sides. A party of National troops then came rushing up the Jane and made the garrison prisoners. “Three minutes passed without an event. “Thon ‘Where's Cathal one prisoner cried. “No one knew, The firemen quick- ly procured a sledge and began to beat down one of the doors. It gavd way to their blows, and from out of the building sprang a small figure, of a mud-begrimed man with a drawn re- volver. ' “Sweeping aside with a wave of his hand the men who rushed to his side, he ran toward an outpost of the Na- tional trogps drawn up at Findlater Lane. Brugha ‘Stop, for God's sake!’ the Red Cross men appealed. ***No, no!’ was the reply. “He would not surrender.

For a second he lay still, 2nd then made one last effort to regain his feet, but his strength failed. He fell back with his fage to the sky. Blood poured from his leg, and then through his mouth “A doctor appeared. The injured leg was bandaged, and the leader of the garrison moved to a motor ambulance.” —=—___ THE WORLD TRAVEL BURFAO.
