description of an Irish fshermans recklessness, sim
plicty fertility of resource in difficulties. and I'M
failing wit under the most dscouraging circum-
stances. Emulous of the exploits of certain bragg
ging OSullivan, Barry essays voyage to Fingall
in his fishing boat He would die rather than confess
that he does not know how to get there, even
where 1t is. so he follows ship which he supposes
to be bound for the same place. They 500 miles
out when he discovers that the ship is going to
Bengal but he conceals the alarming intelligence
from his two companions and after interview =
with the captain of the merchantmen, who supplies
him with provisions and warns him to keep a North
east course till he strikes the coast of Ireland again.
