"When wo were aboard th Mo
iina," ho said, "government ot'lioials
came to (piestion us. Wo all 'stuck
to the story that wo were going to
England to enlist. That was our own
littlo Irish joke, however. Wo aro
going to mako our homes, in Califor
nia. "Conscriplion is virtually in force
now. hvery man who can enlist has
to do so. Ho is driven to it. Knt
ployqrs lay off men or reduco wages,
j think we were the hint to get away
and we had to Ho to CM'iipo tfib gov
ernment official1."
O'Stillivnn said sixty-five other
Irishmen left New .calami on tho
