IRELAND


IRELAND contains about 30, 900 SQUARE
miles. The face ofthe country affords a
pleasing variety of surface. In some larts
there ale rich and fertile plains, watered by
large and beautiful streams, while in other
parts hills are found in freque Mt succession
which give an agreeable diversity to the
scenery. The mountainous chains of Ire
land are neither numerous nor important ;
tor, though the country contains many hills
OF considerable elevation, yet they are not
OF such height, nor are they collected into
such masses, as to give to Ireland the char
acler OF mountainous country. Its harbors
are excellent and very numerous. The
numerous lakes and rivers render the in
land navigation extensive, and are connect
ed by several canals. The climate is, in
general more temperate than the climate of
other countries in the same latitude. 1t is
also much more inclined to moisture, rams
being more frequent. The soil is, gener-
ally speaking. a fertile loan with a rocky
substratum. Notwithstanding its great fer
tlllty, the average produce is much less
Than in England, owing to the backward
state Of agriculture. The amount of land
at present under tillage is probably FIVE
millions. In 1885 the amount of grain ex-
ported was IL, ia, 442 quarters, whilst the
average amount for the four years preced-
ing 1923 was only &c ,638 quarters, although
the population had trebled in the meantime.
The bulocks, cows and horses exported in
1926 amounted to sc $40. In the same
year were exported 72, lO1 sheep and Co.,
919 swine. The increase in the production
Of every thing else, is in the same proper
ton the cattle are Of very excellent de.
scripion = The butter trade is considered,
at present, as the staple trade, and much
greater extent of country is covered by
dairy than than by gazing farms. In
1924, 521 ,465 cwts. Of butter were export
ed, and the quantity has since increased.
Flax is cultivated extensively. Since 1927
great deal of tobacco, ofinferior quality,
has been raised with profit. The linen
manufacture has declined since 1923. Il
then amounted TO more than 40, 600, 600
yards. IN ITO twas only lite over
1000 600 Yards. The cotton monufactiirS
has, however, increased, and this increase
indeed is the chief cause of the decline ii
the manufacture Of linen. The country
possesses many natural advantages for the
WOODEN manufacture, but it has Been Grip
Piled by the English Legislature. The silk
manufacture, has much declined Bot
with all the political disadvantages under
which Ireland has abored, her resources
have been wonderfully developed during
the latter part of the past century, and still
more since the beginning Of the present
century. There is every reason to believe
that, were she untrammeled by her Jealous
step-molher, England, she would rank i.

igual place of destination. They remained
three days off Long lsland TO the eastward
of Providence, after which time they were
two months on the ocean,, sometimes
steering to the eastward and whenever an
occasion would permit the. whites would
alter the course to the northward, always
in hopes of falling in with some vessel of
war or being enabled to run into some port
when they would be relieved from their
horrid situation. Several times they wele
boarded by vessels; once by an American
schooner from Kingston; supplied them
with demijohn of water for the moderate
sum Of one doubloon: this schooner, whose
name was not asertaned. finding that the
negroes had plenty Of money. remained
lashed alongside the" Armisiad' for twenty
four hours, though they must have been
aware that all was not right on board and
probably suspected the character Of the

month, the vessel was steered to the north

Y. 25 miles. the Pilot boat No 8 came
along side and gave the negroes some APP
pies. She was also hailed by No. 4, when
The latter boat came near, the negroes
armed themselves and would not permit
her to board them; they were SO exasperated
with the two whites for bringing them so
much out of their way that they expected
every moment to be murdered. On the
24lh they made Montauk Light and steered
for it in the hope Of running the vess ell
ashore, but the tide drified them up the
bay and they anchored where they were
found by the brig Washington, off Culleden
point. The negroes were found in COM
munication with the shore, where they laid
in fresh supply of money with them, some
Of which it is likely was taken by the peo-
pie on tho beach. After they were dis
armed and sent on board from the leach,
