was scarcely relieved by the few flicker
ing lamps in and about the railway
station and water front. The large white
wooden case in which the coffin had been
placed was borne npon the shoulders of
seamen to the steamer. The Parnellites
followed next behind. All heads were un-
covered. Sobs were distinctly audible as

posted in an inclosure specially fitted up
for Its reception, aud here the faithful fol-
lowers of the dead chief kept watch
throughout the voyage across st. Georges

stated intervals. Among those who kept
guard were the Lord Mayor of Dublin,
High Sheriff Meade and Mr.. Parnell. the

rain.

by the exchange of friendly greeting until
after the transference Of the body to the
railway carriage. The short distance was
socn Dade-the train arriving at Dublin
