met.
Mr.. Davitt leaped from his car, welding
a thick hazel stick and fought his way,
foot by foot, straight towards Mr.. Parnelps
wagon, giving and receiving numerous
blows He finally reached the wagon, hat
less and with his face badly marked, and
with few of his men with him, who also
bore traces of the severe usage they had
received in their desperate passage between
the two vehicles. Standing on the steps
of Mr.. Parnell's wagon Mr.. Davitt ut
