The Huron Expositor, 1874-03-13, Page 27 7-P 4 , e••• TH THE SMUGGLERS. %%Jarrett ;FOR THE SEAFORTH Exaesrroa. - Before the establishment-ot the pres- ent system of police in Ireland, called " peelers," the quietness of. the country AVall in the keeping of a few old police- men scattered through the at -minim towns and villages, with. a 'revenne.. Officer sta.:, tioned on various parts of the coast to look. after smugglers. Theae offices were not' a sinecure, as smuggling and making petheeh whiskey were carried on in almost all quarters, and although these officers were empowered tocall the military to their assistance in times of trouble,. they very frequently found. that body aery lukewarm in- the pursuit of smugglers and illicit stills, so that -they were often in extreme danger from- the violence of those persons epgaged in the traffic. The country round the beauti- ful bay of COurtinasherry afforded grand scope for this busineis ; the precipitous rocks around the bay were• tunnelled, and here Were numerous stills constant-. ly at work, besides being places of safe7 ty.for the deposit of the amuggled goods brought from. other countries. To. add the! other faellities, a large perpen- &liar' rock called "Horse Reek" stood okt abeut five miles in the bay. On this roek many a valuable cargo was landed, " aa good sized. vessels could anchor right beSide it in high water ; and as almost every farmer living along the coast kept a beat, and was interested -in the ven- ture, it was speedily taken off and de- posited in the various caves until in op- portunity offered fornonveying it away. The most daring.srauggler who traded - ore this coast was called Captain Jack, a ! man evidently. belonging to the higher classes:ape-well:el, smart .and bold, whpse vessel, (a neat, fast:sailing sloop,) isr•a,s manned, by a dozen dare-detils, every one of whom woeld lay down his life for his commander. They had an unlimited supply of arms, and the vessel Carried two small swivels. ButiI must say that Captain° Jack never intended to use his arms except in ea,se of dire necessitv. He trusted to stratagem, at which he was an adept. • . In the village of Drunmalagne, on the western side of the bay, was atatiened a ! revenue officer called Phil Cassidy. He was proykleal with a small cutter and a crew of six men, and with all his exer- .. tions he was very ,selclom so fortunate as te make a prize, one reason for, which was that one of his !men was the pa agent of -Captain Jack, to whoee filen he always gave notice of his niaste movements. But 1Mr. Cassidy was su that he !was now to be rewarded, by grand prize, for he had by some mea learned that Captain Jack's sloop w corning into the bay, and he was off his cutter to mtereept him. The night was! dark and the wind light, and Captain Jac*, having loOked in vain for signals °from, the shore, Was - creeping along, hugaing the land, ve en, lc taming a point, the . look -Out eri d. " By all the saints, bat there's tease dy, the thief !" . " Captain, dear " cried Yat Dorm 1. an, (who was called he gunnea) • will' •you lave me blow hi ' out of the Nvathier-?

We'll allow him t c ane on bgla,rd qu'et- ly, and then We'll take them all pri ma: ers." . • - Meanwhile Cassidy came dashing alongside and sl outed,' "Ship, ah what vessel is that V' . .

Bat *hen they found that he in- tended tp aiberate theta on his return they too Were dissatisfied, and it re- quired all tile Captain's influence to get them to prdanise that they would not in- jure either Cassidy or his men. As soon as the vessel was unloaded, and the Cap- Ii4.1 tain had h4d a private conversatio with Poll, preparations were made fot etum- ing, and various were the conjectures lof the country people as to the Captain's conduct, bet all agreed, that he . was a daripg, find fellow, and one who never broke his promise. On the return of the vessel the Aignal gun was fired, the gun- ner and hie comrades were brought on board by t)re spy,- who, having reeeived some money, returned for Mr. Cassidy aild his me6 whilst the sloop stood out to sea. s may be imagined, Cassidy was raging it the usage he had received and at his disappointment in haVing a rich prize lip from his grasp when fairly (as he tho ght) within it, and he vowed that he w eld net be entirely disap- pointed. , O, instead of steering back r into the b he landed with four of his men, and awing a geed idea of the di- rection th 1oads would be taken, he, with some hired spies which he obtained, crossed. thel country, and before daylight came up with a number of horses, each carryiag Wes or boxes, and attended by a strohg griat'rd of well -armed men„who, having kept a gopd look out, perceived Cassidy before he did them, and before one of his larty approached the horses they were' severally . attacked, and a regular melee ensued in which the guager's pirty wen badly injured, and some of they liveS Weald have paid the forfeit of their purshit only for the ex- plicit orderire alavays given by Captain Jack that &life should be taken where it was possible to &Void it.

But Mrs. McMahon was acqhainted with all their plans, and. having been previcusly in- structed she pretended to be. much sur- prised when; on thel evening 'on Which ahe sloop was signalled, a disguised, man !came in at her back. door, who, with an excla,mation, she called Captain -Jack, requesting to know lif anything wrong had. occurred: ''' Ah " said tli. stranger, ." I have made a 'bad job of it this time, and Was obliged to leave the Green Isle, which is off, no one knows" where. I shall stay with you to -night; and get me something to eat, for 1 aan half starved, but be aure yon let ao °lie know I am here." This ,piece hif news was immediately conveyed. byl the serya,nt girl who was also in the septet to Cassidy's spy, who, believinw that now there was no doubt of 0 . metering -the Cap ain, set off as fast as ars could • send him. aeross the bay to nform his employer. Cassidy's joy new no bound's, whilst, with his wh.ole orce, he hasteeed. to the "Shebeen," be - ng pow almost sin e of his prey, and at ne stroke gratify s i'evenge and obtain, he large reward. So having laid his lans for surround lig the house, he was uietly closing on- it when a man, fit' a meat state of excitement, rushed from e. back door, fired at randem amongst hp party ancl took Ito the fi.elds, jumping ver hedges , and. !ditches, - hat not so imbly bat that Cassidy's party, who =ere now in hot pursuit, felt that after time they should ibe: able to overtake im, feeling - certain: that the fugitive as no other than 'aptaiu Jack himself. ncler this impres ion, they, continued. he chase Until day ight, when the man, aving led -them several miles, turned. owaads them: and with a laugh asked hat they were pill:suing him for. and arting off like a dber was soon out of ght. Cassidy at once saw that he was ricked again; and his rage knew no ounds, whilst he and bis party a.rrived. at the bay :ouly an time to learn that the sloop had arrived, was unloaded and had returned.. Such were the expedients of this daring smuggler, in order to prevent the shedding Of blood; but at the very next- trip, Cassidy, being determined. to take him, was joined, flsy another small - cutter :with a• crew of '.ten men, lay on the look out for a • week, about the time of the Captain's return, and was reward- ed by seeing the Greenisle coming slow- ly on, keeping under the land. The night not being dark they were seen by the smugglers, who at once divined their in- tention of boarding them from their -sep- arating from each other. Captain Jack, acting wita his usual promptness, at once gaVe the word to " cleax for action " much to the delight of his men, who at once armed, themselves with swords, _pistols :and boarding pikes. The loeg swivels were loaclee4 and the Captain or- dered that, if possilsle, Cas.Sady's cutter should be SO far disabled as that only one drew should be able to come along- side " and. of them," said he, " we'll lhalte short work." acCordingly; as soon . , as the cutters Were -within range, a couple of well -directed shots from the swivels nearly cut Cassidy's in two, so that it was with the Utmost difficulty theY could keep he? above water, whilst they speedily :made for the land. The other cutter, -regardless of the fate of their companions, pressed boldly forward to the side of the Green Isle, and now commenced a desperate hand-to-hand struggle in their endeavors to board, which was determinedly opposed by the snaugglers, Captain :Jack himself thrust- ing Many of thon !back into the water. At length, fairly °dispirited, and with a great part of their number badlywoand. ed, they compelled, to retreat and join their comrades, but not 'one 'moment too soon, for they had aearthely time to re - abled he coul it hi a ance.

Much ahe in et th wishes of the crew to let them off so ea ilv, Cassidy aed is men were lowered jilt° the cutter, and attended by Donn •ran and two others they steered_ across the bay to Poll Duty's 1 cabin, This was a 1 old hut, built above high water on . the side pf the 'bay by some fishermen, and now sometimes (but very seldom) occupied by Poll Duty, who was an eccentric woman who came sto the country about the time that Ca,ptain Jack litit made his appearance, and it seems that she knekv all his secrets a,nd was so much interested in his affairs t at she was always th' first to -notify the people when the s oop was coming 'n. She was a, powerfu ly built woman, led.a roving life, always 'welcome amongst the Captam'e friends, and wore a man's cOat and hat' and travelled with a , heahry stick, and she always knew where e guager and revenue fo!ificer were, and he best time for moving the stuff. - Captain Jack was very kind to her, and woald supply her with mere money than s e would accept from him. m ve the wounde frpm : Cassidy's ca- ts when she went down. - 1 aptain Jack no boldly 4.malied on to hi old landing, w ere, being met by his fri nds, his cargp as quickly taken Off, an his sloop agai headed. for thegoeean, b this time, t theesurPrise of the CY w, having tak n our old friend, Poll Duty, on board.

And now, co reales," continued the tain, "1 ha,ve to inform you that we have taken our 1 t venture together, for before we commenced this voyage I re- ceived news from home, -in;which it ap- pears that great changes haye taken place which oblige me to give up. my present life.

They cried, they cureed, they b gged him. to remain, and, when asslured. that it was impossible, they thanked iira in the most grateful manner fpr his generous gift, and. having, by his advice, eleeted their future cap- tain, as soon a$ they had arrived at the pla e indicated, Captaia Jack and. Poll Du y were put ma shore, and the smug- glets sailed off. for a fresh cargo. But their career was not a long one, they ma4e a few trips with indifferent suc- cess, not eying the master mind of Cape t tairi Jack to ditect. them, and large sams being offe ed for their captain, all the revenue officers alOng the western -toast of Ireland were on the look -MA for fhem, and so, in passing !near the.
