 Most Daring Feat.
 The landing of arms yesterday for the nationalists was carried out in a more daring manner than similar feats achieved by the Ulster unionists volunteers, as it was effected in day. light. The yacht from which the arms and ammunition were brought ashore already had landed 2,500 rifles and 125, 900 rounds of ammunition at isolated points along the coast and these had been successfully distribut- ed by motor cars among the nations alist volunteers.

 Carried in Automobiles.
 Automobiles carried off 1,500 of the rifles and all the ammunition and a body of nationalist volunteers then started for Dublin with one thou sand rifles, but no ammunition. The police sent to intercept the volunteers cheered the gun runners and every thing seemed to be going smoothly until the battalion of Scottish Border CTS came upon the scene and de- manded that the arms be surrendereds When the nationalist volunteers re- fused to give up the rifles the SOL diers charged with fixed bayonets, wounding a number of volunteers. While the leaders of the volunteers and the re gimental officers were par- leying the rank and file of the volun- teers scattered and got away with all except nineteen of the rifles.
 Crowd Attacks Soldiers.
 The news quickly reached Dublin and a mob gathered to meet the sol- diers on their return. Nolleys of sticks were thrown at the troops and twenty of the soldiers were ordered to fire. The nationalist volunteers ook no part in the street fighting.
