    He was telling him in Irish and I understood him.
    He made his way to Dungarvan for he started early in the morning.
    He went into a public house in Dungarvan and there were sailors there. When the Captain saw him he thought by the look of him there were something wrong with him.
    The Captain gave him the beck and brought him to the ship with him. He hid him an a barrell and brought him to America where he said
    "now I am in the land of Liberty - a fig for all my foes."
    He sent for his wife and family, I dont know his name but there were a song composed about him and he was called
    "The Bold Undaunted Foe."
