Paperback. Condizione: New. 'You have six escaped prisoners aboard. I give you fifteen minutes to consider, and if you don't heave to I'll blow the masts out of you.' With these words, the commander of the British steamer Georgette hailed the American whaler Catalpa. Pointing to the Stars and Stripes, Captain Anthony of the Catalpa replied with classic brevity: 'That's the American flag. I am on the high seas. If you fire on this ship you fire on the American flag.' On board the Catalpa the men prepared to resist till death. The mood of the moment was set when First Mate Samuel Smith, whose fund of nautical phrase was the richest on the seven seas, called down fire and damnation on the man who uttered the threat. Terse instructions were given by John Breslin to sink the boarding party if it came alongside.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Originally from west Kerry, Thomas Ashe was a schoolteacher in north County Dublin and a founding member of the Irish Volunteers.

This culminated in the Battle of Ashbourne, where the tactics used were a precursor of the guerrilla warfare techniques that were to be so effective in the War of Independence.Ashe was sentenced to death alongside Éamon de Valera, but their sentences were commuted to life imprisonment. He led a hunger strike in Lewes Prison in May 1917 and was released under a general amnesty in June. Ashe was re-arrested in August for a speech he made in Co. Longford. He was imprisoned in Mountjoy, where he went on hunger strike in September for prisoner-of-war status. He died on 25 September, having been force-fed by the prison authorities.
