prisoners confined at FOrt George, and who
made. his escape since to France. It appears that
he came to a near relation's house, at Ballynacurra,.
in the county of Cork, attended by a French Officer,.
and got drawings and maps of the -harbout:of Cork,
and afterwards sailed from Ringaikiddey, for which
the relation paid for freight 140 guineas. The
boatmen conCeiying what they carried in a large
trunk was valuable, and estimating agreeable to
the freight, when Swiney and the 'OffiCer went
ashore; the crew set off with the trunk; broke it
open, but finding nothing but maps and charts of
roads, they put some.of their ballast in it and sunk
it. Swiney detailed this circumstance in a letter
to Mr: Swiney, his father. The letter fell into the
hands of that vigilant Officer Lord GARDNE ; and
