- (continued from previous page)A week passed, Mikie Grady said more prayers than in all his life before for he expected every minute to be shot. He was only two miles from the town but he thought his prison was twenty miles away. His guards were boys that he used to meet every day on the streets of Kinsale and when they said that they were from Millstreet and other distant places he believed them. At last a pookeen was tied over his eyes and he was told step out. On, on, on he marched he was halted the púicín removed. In the distance he saw the flashes from the light house at the Old Head. At the same moment his guard disappeared. Mikie Grady was standing on Camphill free at last.
