landed a number of men on the coast, six
OF whom were shortly afterward capture
by the English constabulary of Wexford
Standing out to sea they hovered about
the coast of Antrim, and on the 9th put
into Antrim Bay.
There they were informed of the fate
that had befallen their companions, and
holding several prolonged interviews with
the Fcnian leaders in the west of Ireland
they proposed to make descent into An
trim but became convinced from the fate
of their companions and from the exten-
sive publicity which the news of the
cruise was obtaining throughout the coun-
try that the attempt would be hazardous
and that the people were not sufficiently
organized to successfully undertake arev-
olutiouary movemeet. They then reluc-
family determined to return tothe Frases.
After remaining several days in Antrim
Bay they quilted their anchorage, an d
setting sail north-easterly direction, an
chored in Belfast Lough, where they met
the agents of the Irish Fenian Directors,
and were advised to abandon all hopes of
effecting landing as the people were un-
prepared for insurrection, the country be-
ing full of troops. They were also assur-
ed that an unsuccessful venture would be
their utter ruin. After remaining sever
al days in Belfast Lough, the Plato set
sail in westerly direction and landed
again in the Cove.
Here the intelligence greeted the ad-
venturers that they had received in Bel
ng on board S' suppy Of Wafef Tsf Sfahsd and aS pro
visions, they trimmed their sails 10 the
direction of America, and left the land
Of their birth, which they had fondy and
foolishly hoped to have been able to as
sist in its liberation.
After being at sea for week their pro.
visions gave out and it was only by the
liberal supplies Of food, and the assist
ance which they received from the pass
ing American ships, they we're preserved
from starvation. The port of New York
was reached on the 2Sth of July, the en-
tire trip having consumed ninety-two days
The result Of the voyage shows that the
coast Of Ireland can not be patrolled BY
English gunboats SO as not to prevent the
landing Of considerable bodies of men
During the cruise Of the Plato sigma
rockets were fired from on board ship ant
answered from the shore and complet,
communication kept up by those on ship
board with those on shore.
