Of the critical time when Collins was

collins owed some of his escapes t.
HIS friends faithfulness, but mostly TO
his own daring. He was trapped one
day in a house in Harcourt street,
Dublin, which he used az one Of his
offices.
The place was surrounded by Eng
fish soldiers Collins climbed on the
roof and from there to the adjoining
roof of a hotel where the boots had
undertaken always to leave the sky
light unbolted. To Collins dismay
when he lifted the skylight he found
that it was over the well of steep
staircase, a sheer drop that meant
death or serious injury.
Just then a steel helmet showed on
the roof o. his office Collins flung
down his sttache case containing his
secret pap. rs, gripped the edge of the
skyIight and let himself go. trusting
TO clear the balustrade of the landing.
He did. A few minutes later he walk
ed out of the hotel and nonchalantly
boarded a tramcar in front of his own
office, which was filed with soldiers.
It was Michael Collins who smashed
the administration of Dublin Castle,
Gen. Beasley reveals. He undermined
the Dublin Castle secret service. He
won the allegiance of some of the
very men told off to capture him, and
these men-the &c" detectives-were
the eyes Of the British government
in Ireland.
On one occasion Dublin Castle
rushed a motor lorry of soldiers off to
capture Collins in the Dublin Man
sion House, but one of the Dublin
Castle detectives, friendly to Collins.
warned him of the approaching dam
ger by telephone, speaking IN French.
One night Michael Collins spent
some hours ransacking the secret
papers In the Dublin detective head
quarters.
It is also revealed that it was
Michael Collins who led the party that
enabled De Valera to escape from
