Mccarthy (who when necessary knows how to
fight with more material weapons) those who
do not know his temperament viii attach n good

deserves. although those of who know him
personally will laugh and pass up to tempera'
the doughty and dauntless captain. No one will
be found to endorse his extreme expressions,
and on sober second thought doubtless Captain
Mccarthy will regret his hasty speech.
