pair of boots, an overcoat, and a silk
hat. These with a change of linen, were sufficient to make my
appearance respectable. I went out again, bathed in Four Mile Water,
took a last look at the cemetery, and walked to Wicklow, whence I
traveled by the first train to Dublin.

Some months later, at Cairo, I received a packet of Irish newspapers,
and a leading article, cut from The Times, on the subject of the
miracle. Father Hickey had suffered the meed of his inhospitable
conduct. The committee, arriving at Four Mile Water the day after I
left, had found the graveyard exactly where it formerly stood. Father
Hickey, taken by surprise, had attempted to defend himself by a
confused statement, which led the committee to declare finally that
the miracle was a gross imposture. The Times, commenting on this after
adducing a number of examples of priestly craft, remarked, "We are
glad to learn that the Rev. Mr. Hickey has been permanently relieved
of his duties as the parish priest of Four Mile Water by his
ecclesiastical superior. It is less gratifying to have to record that
it has been found possible to obtain two hundred signatures to a
memorial embodying the absurd defence offered to the committee, and
expressing unabated confidence in the integrity of Mr. Hickey."

London, 1885.
