passed from hand to hand from ship to shore.
The appearance Of THU long row of boats was
very striking, and when, with true Celtic I'M
pulsiveness their crews let the cable slip prema-
turelv into the sea, that they might cheer and
waive their hats at It's being brought safely 10
land and the bridge resolved itself into htie
feet, the whole bay seemed animate with me.
This rather Irish incident delayed the proceed

had been reformed and the cable hshed up and
restored to the men in the boats that the paying

until The Knigh. Of Kerry, spoken Of as the

throughout the country, was recognized on the
cliff. when the ropressed enthusiasm had TO be
again worked of, and the call for three cheers

hand wavings OF its present object, another
hearty burst. The accompaniment, however,
was this time restricted to one hand, and did not
interfere with work The knight of Kerry who.

the cable commenced about A NJ, and lasted
until nearly p II , and the solitary untoward
circumstance connected with it, save the half
