I have not read or heard of those stories.
Is this a short story anthology? What's the title?

Not for July 21st.I would not put it up the same time as Seoulman's discussion.
The Title of the book is Stories by English Authors and under that it writes Ireland and then Scribners,it contains the stories I mentioned above. I bought it for 2 dollars at a flea market last year and it's 120 year old book.

I will read them, and if they are worth discussing I will mention it.
Can't you just use magic?

I am out of bat wings ,and some other major ingredients for my potions (it was all used to find the book),so reading the normal way would have to do for now.

I don't mind. Actually, I want this Short Stories subforum to be a success, so the more substantive posts, the better.

Samuel Lover-The Gridiron
This was a nice ,funny story about an Irish crew aboard the Colleen Dhas.
A man named Paddy (crew member) is retelling the story of what happened after the Colleen Dhas sank.
The captain and the crew have been on a boat for about a week, hungry and thirsty, provisions practically gone.
They finally see land and Paddy and the captain have this back and forth conversation about where they are.
Paddy telling the story.
"Whereabouts in the wide world are we, captain? says I; " maybe it id be in Roosia or Proosia, or the Garmant Oceant' say I.
"Tut, you fool," says he,"that's France" says he.
The conversation continues awhile and Paddy wants the captain to let him ashore to go ask someone for a gridiron.
"oh, by gor, the butther's coming' out o' the stirabout in airnest now, 'says he "you gommoch," says he, "sure I told you before that's France and sure, they are all furriners there,' says the captain.
"Well, says I,' and how do you know but I 'm as good a furriner myself as any o' thim?"
"What do you mane?" says he.
"I mane,' says I, "what I towld you." "Parly voo frongsay?":lol:
There's more ofcourse but that's all I am writing.
Cute story.

George H.Jessop-The Emergency Men
This one is on a more serious note and also an enjoyable read.
It has to do with farmers in Ireland boycotting the landlords.
The landlords call in "emergency men" to assist the landlords work.
This is an interesting article that gives you a good idea what it was all about.

See, Libra, I can take a hint.
Pick one and tell me what day to be ready for discussion.
