volley Hats Wild Dash
The republican surrender which took
place in Thomas Lane, an alley back
OF O'Connell Street, was made dram attic
by the daring attempt to escape of
Cathal Brugha, the last insureent
leader to emerge from the burning
Granville Hotel. After the Free
Staters had surrounded the prisoners
some one raised the cry, "Where is
Cathal Brugha?" A shasty roll call
showed that he was SILL in the burn

"Never!" and continued his rush. He
paid no attention to orders to halt and
the Free Staters fred volley at him.
Like a football halfback tackled in
full run he pitched to the ground. He
made desperate effort to regain his
feet, but he had been shot through the

enemies, as it recalled his capture in
1916 when he fell exhausted from four
teen bayonet wounds.

Firemen extinguished the O'Connell

casualties are sixty-one dead and 279
wounded.
Twenty-Five large buildings were de-
stroyed in O'Connell Street, including
the five hotels-Gresham, Hamman,
Granville, Crown and Edinburgh. St.
Thomas's Protestant Church, used as a
Red Cross station by the irregulars, the
general postoffice and several Office
buildings are also in ruins. The block
on the east side of O'Connell Street, ex-
tending about 200 yards, was ruined by
