76 WHAT I HAVE SEEN WHILE FISHING 



I see the boys now as I saw them then. Boister- 

 ously happy boys in clothes which had holes square, 

 holes round, holes in the knees, holes in the seats, 

 and holes in their caps where their hair came 

 through, but happiness and health in their every 

 movement. It's just a chance they will need. Let 

 us hope that the new-born industrial activity in 

 Ireland, with its fast-increasing number of centres 

 and their widening circles of influence, may be in 

 time to give them such profitable employment as 

 will keep them our fellow-subjects, of our their 

 King.
