taken to 81. Vincent hospital to be
prepared to rest In state in the city

The steamer Classic, bearing the
remains OF the Irish patriot and for
mcr commander-in n-chief OF the
Irish Free State army, reached
Northwall at 2 o'clock. Gen. Richard
kHllcahy, who has succeeded Collins
as commandor-in-o chief of the Irish
regular army, was waiting with two
companies OF troops. There were
about fifty civilians on hand also.
They had waited all night to pay
honors TO the fallen statesman ana
soldier.
Tender hands lifted the coffin
from the deck and placed II upon a
gun carriage. II was then draped
with the tri-color of the Irish Free
State. Pipers, playing a mournful
dlrge. preceded the procession to
