Though Michael Collins had been
the ficrcest fighter against the Brit

treated san opponent on whose
work they could confidently rely. He
was stiff in insisting on all rights
secured by the treaty yet in all un-

reasonable and helpful. The Ulster
government appreciated his attitude
and regretted the breakdown of his

Restoring Library
to Former Grandeur
Colby Memorial Hall

Extensive changes have taken place
in the Colby college library during the
past few weeks. Prof. Charles t..
Chapman, the Colby librarian assisted
by several men has rearranged the
side of Memorial hall and cleared
away so that this part will be acces-
sible to the public during the coming
college year This part of Memorial
hall was formerly the Colby library
and reading room but with the pass
ing of years it became necessary to
make more room for the ever in
the generosity of Charles Seaverns
'0l, new reading room was built
over the chapel and very beautifully
furnished with oak tables and chairs.
Adjusta bic shelves were put into this
room so that accommodations were
made for about 10000 volumes.
The old room which is considered
by many as one of the most beautiful
libraries in the State was closed and
became the dumping ground for pam
phlets. duplicates and worn out books.
Here in lonely grandeur has reposed
the marble bust of Milton. valuable
piece of statuary of fine penmanship.
Here have reposed the silver cups
that Colby's athletes have won in
former years. forgotten and tarnished
bearing such engraving as Rope
Pull, Won by the Glass of 'S3 or Ten
mis- Championship Doubles 1909"
From the banks of the galleries pic
lures Of learned men peer, such men
as Samuel Smith. author of America
and one time Colby Professor.
The trustees of Colby met during
the past college year and voted to
open up the old library and to keep
the new reading room open also. Nor

car and lorry carrying soldiers. AL
together the party is believed to
have numbered about q score, in
cluding General Sean O'Connell COM
n,ander Of the bodyguard, and Major
General Dalton, commander Of Free
State troops in Cork.
A despatch rider preceded the
large touring car with Collins and
other officers then followed q whip
pet armored car while an ordinary
open tender brought up the rear.
The party visited nearly all the posts
to the south Of Cork occupied by the
National army. among them Skibber-
cen. Ross Carbery and Clonakilty, at
each place the officer commanding
was interviewed and the the party
was enthusiastically greeted.
Owing to the interruption of COM
runication by the main road the par
ty towards evening took a rounda-
bout route for Cork from Bandon and
near the village of Bealna blath was
ambushed by about two hundred Ir-
regulars.
The battle opened with few shots
fired by the attacking forces; the Ma
tionals were taken by surprise. and
one of the first bullets nearly struck
Collins before his car stopped, mis-
sing him only by an inch or two.
The Nationals hastily dismounted and
General Collins himself assumed
leadership. A hail of bullets sweep
ing the road left him quite unmoved.
his first thought being for the safety
of his men whom he ordered to take
cover at the fences on both sides OF
the road. At the very outset the de-
spatch rider in front was badly
wounded in the lungs. and under the
direction of the commander in chief
was removed to temporary safety.
Then the Nationals settled down to
reply to the fire, and the fact that
they were faced by far superior num-
bers did not daunt either Collins or
his officers. and within a few min
utcs the attack developed into grim
engagement fiercely contested.
Every man of t--c ambushcd party
had been tried repeatedly and had
proved his bravery and Coolness in
action and all of them showed steadi-
ness in the battle which lasted close
TO an hour. II was in the very last
stages that Michael Collins was killed.
1t is asserted that the careful well
directed fire of the Nationals took
heavy toll, large number of Ir-
regulars being killed or wounded.
For forty-fivc minutes the only
casualty on the side OF the Ma
tionals was the despatch rider.
The fighting was nearly ended
and the Irregulars were on the point
of retreating, defeated despite their
overwhelming numbers and advan-
ta9cous position and the firing had
become less intense, when suddenly
Collins fell. 1t was obvious that he
had been mortalIv wounded, but.
Notwithstanding this, he still fired
from the ground and encouraged his
men by his unfinching bravery.
In a feeble voice the commander
asked for Major General Dalton and
General O'Connoll, both greatly dis
tlcssed comforted their dying chief:
they whispered a few prayers and
recited the act Of contrition before
the general passed. His body was
removed under fire to the armored
car.
Tho Tlregulars wero by now in re-
t,Hat leaving manv dead and wound
cd on the field. The Nationals were
obliged to lrave the touring car, TAX
ing their dead chiefs body in the
armored car which reached Cork
about midnight.
