BARRINGTON BRIDGE.
As we four stood facing each other on the poop of _The Grey Wolf_,
there was the sound of a door opened and closed, and then the pit-pat
of steps on the deck, and well did I know who it was.
“Grace O’Malley!” cried I joyously, turning towards her.
“Grace O’Malley!” said Richard Burke, and could not say more for very
gladness.
My mistress smiled upon us, as she gave one hand to the MacWilliam and
the other to me; but as I gazed upon her I saw that those great eyes of
hers were deep-shadowed with sadness. And well could I understand how
the failure and defeat of her most cherished hopes, brought about by
the perfidy of Desmond, and acquiesced in by Fitzmaurice, preyed upon
her mind and filled her with gloom. What she now said to me showed how
her thoughts ran.
“So you are become a Queen’s man, Ruari!”
“I am your servant, Grace O’Malley,” said I. “What care I whose man I
am, so long as I am yours! If you say be a Queen’s man, then Queen’s
man am I.”
“And you, Richard Burke?” she asked.
“You well know what I would say!” answered he.
“It is well,” said she; but if she had said, “It is ill,” her accents
could hardly have been more sober or less exultant. And for myself,
when I recalled the image of de Vilela, who must henceforth be our foe,
and all that I owed him, I could not but share in and sympathise with
her feelings.
Sir Nicholas Malby, perhaps guessing something of what we were
thinking, and anxious to reap the fullest benefit as soon as possible
from our alliance with him, brought the conversation sharply round to
Fitzmaurice and the Geraldines.
He was enough of a tactician to say very little of the past or of the
Spaniards; only he harped incessantly on the baseness with which our
mistress had been treated by her own countrymen, and so wrought upon
our desire for revenge.
“Here and now is your opportunity! There is no time to be thrown away.
Each day sees Fitzmaurice in a stronger position, as men pour into his
camp from all directions. Desmond, meanwhile, like the weakling he
is, still hesitates. If we are to succeed, the blow must be struck at
once--should he join Fitzmaurice, I may have to wait till soldiers come
from England; if we move at once, however, though the enemy is more
numerous than our combined forces, we are, I believe, a match for them.”
“Tell us your plans,” said Richard Burke, and thereupon Sir Nicholas
began to discuss with us what course was to be pursued.
He appeared to be well-informed of all that was going on in the camp of
Fitzmaurice, and was determined to offer him battle at once. With this
end in view, we agreed to move up the galleys that very afternoon to
Limerick, and anchor them in the harbour within its walls.
It was not without misgivings that I consented to this, for then we
should be indeed at the mercy of Sir Nicholas; but he was so fair and
open with us, and had so placed himself, without reserve, as it were,
in our hands, that I gave way; nor, as the event showed, was our trust
misplaced.
I returned to _The Cross of Blood_, and in a very few minutes, the
three galleys were on their way to Limerick, where their appearance
shortly afterwards created no small stir among its inhabitants.
Thinking that Grace O’Malley and Eva would prefer being left together,
I had taken Sir Nicholas on board of my ship; and he and Burke and I
considered the situation of affairs, and resolved that next morning we
should all march out from Limerick and engage Fitzmaurice. Sir Nicholas
estimated our whole force at a thousand men, most of whom were hardened
soldiers and veterans of war, nor did he anticipate that we should meet
with any strenuous resistance, save from the Spanish troops, who would
be certain to fight desperately.
One favour I asked of Sir Nicholas, and only one. I told him that there
was amongst the Spaniards a gentleman--a certain de Vilela--to whom I
was beholden by the greatest of obligations, and I begged of him this
boon--if it should be the fortune of war that Don Francisco were taken
alive, then that he should be given up to me upon my paying such a
ransom as would satisfy the captors. And to this Sir Nicholas very
willingly consented.
After we had come into port, and the galleys were made fast to the
quay, Sir Nicholas went on into the city to give orders with respect
to his soldiers and to prepare for the morrow. But, ere he left us, he
said he would either come himself to see me late that night to give
us his final commands, or would send one of his chief captains in his
place.
As I watched that sturdy figure of his, I recalled that when I had last
talked with him it was on the night of the revel in Galway, and could
not but marvel at the strange dance both he and I had been led by fate
since that time.
Also I did not fail to reflect that, while Sir Nicholas had spoken
confidently of our ability to cope with the enemy, he must have deemed
his position to be critical in the extreme, or he never would have made
terms with us. Nothing but the stern compulsion of necessity could have
forced him to act as he had done--nothing else, indeed, could have
justified him.
I was sure, being acquainted with the nature of the man, that it
would have been more congenial to him to have fought us, as well as
Fitzmaurice. Being placed, however, as he was, he had seen, with the
quickness and shrewdness of a man well versed in affairs, how he could
make use of the division between us and Fitzmaurice, and turn it to his
profit and the service of the Queen.
His need of us must have been very great for him not only to have to
relinquish the vengeance he had vowed against my mistress and myself,
but also to ask for our aid. But would our assistance suffice?
My heart beat fast and quickly as I thought that the morrow’s battle
might have a very different result from that which he expected. To say
the least, our victory was very uncertain, seeing that our combined
forces were probably far outnumbered by those of Fitzmaurice.
After I had spent an hour or two musing in this fashion, I saw Eva
appear on the deck of _The Grey Wolf_. All my doubt of the issue of the
morrow vanished immediately, and a swelling tide of love and tenderness
swept over me as I beheld my dear. In truth, I had loved her all my
life; but there was now mingled with my love a feeling that was close
akin to worship, for what had not she dared?
Thank God, I say again, for the great hearts of women!
She did not at once perceive me, and I observed from the pensive droop
of her head and of her body that she was weary. There was now nought
between us--but a few feet of water; and I quickly made my way to her
side. She greeted me with a radiant smile, and love’s own light was
shining in her soft eyes.
“Ruari!”
And love, too, was in her voice.
Long did we hold sweet converse together, saying such fond things to
each other as lovers say; but it is not for me to set them forth.
When I asked her what had put it into her mind to go to Sir Nicholas
Malby, she replied that after the conversation we had had, in which
she had suggested offering a large sum to him as a ransom for Grace
O’Malley--a notion which I had scouted--she had pondered the matter,
and had resolved, without informing me of her intention, to endeavour
to gain admittance to Sir Nicholas, and to tell him that he had only
to name what amount of treasure he required to purchase our mistress’s
liberty, and it would be given.
“I felt an irresistible impulse,” said Eva, “and it was so strong upon
me that I could get no rest until I had seen Sir Nicholas.”
“Did Sir Nicholas receive you well?”
“Yes, indeed,” said Eva. “He was disposed to regard my appearance as
most fortunate, for he had already been casting about for some means of
communicating with you and the MacWilliam.”
And here our talk was interrupted by the sharp ringing of the hoofs
of horses upon the stones of the quay, the clank of arms, and shouted
words of command.
“Sir Nicholas again!” cried I, and we went forward to meet him.
“All is well,” said he briefly, but briskly. “I wish you to disembark
your men----” and here he stopped; “but where is Richard Burke?”
“He is with Grace O’Malley,” said Eva.
Sir Nicholas stood for an instant lost in thought.
“Rumours have reached us,” said he, at length, “that the MacWilliam is
greatly desirous of allying himself with Grace O’Malley more nearly
than as a mere comrade and friend in war.”
His words were a question, and I could almost have sworn there was a
twinkle in those fierce eyes of his.
“Yes, that is true,” I answered, seeing no need for any equivocation or
denial.
“It would be no bad thing,” said he, “for after what has passed they
will surely be loyal to her Highness.”
“Yes,” said I, somewhat drily, “but that will also depend upon her
Highness.”
“Her Highness,” cried he, “can mean nothing but good to this her realm
of Ireland. Peace and quiet are essential to its prosperity, and these
she will have, and so, by God, shall I.”
“Let us go and see them,” said I; for what he had said seemed to me
very like halloaing before we were out of the wood, as it were.
When we entered the cabin, I saw at once that my mistress had recovered
something of her usual spirits, while Richard Burke’s honest face was
bright with happiness. It needed no voice to tell me that he had again
made suit to her, and that she had not repulsed him.
And so best, thought I.
But there was a stern business before us, for we must win our way to
the hands of our brides across a field of blood.
Sir Nicholas began at once to tell us what he had arranged with
respect to us and his English troops. At dawn we were all to cross
the Shannon, and, plunging into the forest, march upon the camp of
Fitzmaurice. He trusted that he might come upon Sir James unawares, or,
at any rate, before he had had time to make the best disposition of his
men.
When all these matters had been settled between us, we bade Grace
O’Malley and Eva farewell.
“Wear this,” said Grace O’Malley, on parting, to Richard Burke, taking
a ring from her finger and putting it into his hand, “and wear it for
my sake.”
As for myself, I had secretly possessed myself of a silken riband of
Eva’s, and twined it about the guard of my sword. That was guerdon
enough for me until I should return to claim her.
“Victory!” cried my mistress to me.
“Amen and amen to that!” said Sir Nicholas and we all, in a breath.
Then we went, each one to his place, and the darkness covered us all
till morning came.
In the twilight of the dawn we assembled to the sound of trumpets, and
then were rapidly carried across the river to its south side, landing
about two miles east of Limerick.
The troops of Sir Nicholas were composed of Englishmen and of Irishmen
too, though these were chiefly from the Pale; all men who had taken
part in many a fight, and gloried in nothing so much as in the red riot
of war. Two hundred of them were mounted, and a hundred, or perhaps
more, bore arquebuses upon their shoulders. But the major portion of
them were armed with long pikes, and nearly all had swords or daggers.
The Burkes and the O’Malleys had the Irish sword and the stabbing
poniard and the still more terrible battle-axe.
The men on horseback went first; then the MacWilliam and I with our
men, followed by the soldiers with arquebuses; last of all, Sir
Nicholas and his pike-men.
Such was the order of our march until we were within half a mile of the
outposts of Fitzmaurice’s camp. But already his spies had warned him of
our approach, and we could hear, even at that distance, the noise of
the commotion among his forces as they prepared to receive us.
We now advanced more slowly, throwing out single soldiers here and
there among the trees, while the mounted men were halted.
The main body was massed together as closely as the nature of the
ground would permit, Sir Nicholas himself directing all our movements
with the utmost coolness and unconcern.
As we pressed onward there was a sharp crack of an arquebus, then
another and another, until the air was full of the sounds of firing;
and then the men who had been sent forward fell back, crying that the
Spaniards were drawn up in battle array, and were waiting to fall upon
us so soon as we came near. Before we emerged from the forest into the
open Sir Nicholas brought up his arquebusiers, bidding Burke and myself
to support them. At the same time he ordered his mounted men to the
front.
When we burst out from among the trees we were met by a hail of
bullets from the pieces of the Spaniards, and a cloud of whirring
arrows seemed to form and break over our heads. For a time we were
thrown back, but returning, like a wave flinging itself upon the
shore, rushed furiously on the enemy, the arquebusiers of Sir Nicholas
meanwhile pouring a deadly fire in upon the ranks of Fitzmaurice.
There was the sudden hoarse blare of a trumpet, the strident voice of
Sir Nicholas crying on us to charge, and our horsemen threw themselves
madly upon the foe, who sullenly gave way before them, but only to
form up quickly again. The men opposed to them were neither cowards
nor strangers to the art of war; they were rallied speedily by their
captains, and soon presented a new front to our attack.
The air was so darkened by smoke, and there was such a tumult from the
shoutings of the soldiers and the clang and clamour of their weapons
and all the wild work of war, that it was some time before I could make
out de Vilela among the Spaniards. But there he was, his long sword
gleaming in his hand, his lips moving, and, though I could not hear
what he was saying, I could well imagine that he was exhorting his men
to remember Spain, and to acquit themselves as became her sons. Then,
as the battle raged, now here, now there, he passed out of my sight.
It is a soldier’s duty to do what his general bids him; but I was glad
when Sir Nicholas called upon Burke and myself to lead our people
against that part of Fitzmaurice’s army which was chiefly made up of
the Geraldines, and which was commanded by Sir James himself. Sir
Nicholas rightly judged that our animosity would burn more fiercely
against them than against the Spaniards, and we sprang upon them with a
fury they could not long withstand.
At the first onset they met us bravely, and for awhile there was much
fierce and terrible fighting. Above their hosts there rose the Pope’s
banner of blue and gold, and around it and Sanders, who held it, and
his priests, they made a stubborn resistance. But they were forced
back, and ever back.
I strove to come at Fitzmaurice, but could not for the press. We had a
score to settle, and settled it was, but not by me, for it was Burke
who dealt him the fatal blow. I had just parried the cunning thrust of
a sword, as I was trying to reach Fitzmaurice, when I saw the flash of
a pistol in Burke’s hand, and then Sir James swayed and fell forward
from his horse. When the Geraldines knew what had taken place, they
turned and fled, bearing Sanders and his banner along with them, into
the thicknesses of the forest.
Having witnessed the defeat and flight of their Irish allies, the
Spaniards could not but be aware that they had small chance of
retrieving the fortunes of the day, and they now began to retreat.
Attacked on the flanks as well as in the front, they were thrown into
disorder, and their retreat became a rout, each man striving to save
himself. A few, however, stood their ground to the last, and among them
was de Vilela.
“Take him alive!” I shouted; but the words came too late.
I was almost beside him, for I had hoped that he would surrender to me
if I asked him to do so, and with that purpose had fought my way even
through the English to get near him; but before I reached him he had
fallen, his armour all stained with blood, and his sword broken in his
hand.
With a great, wild cry of grief, the sharpness of which was like the
sundering of my spirit from my body, I threw my sword upon the ground,
and, kneeling beside him, called to him to speak to me if he were yet
alive. His hand feebly pressed mine, while I wept and sobbed like a
little child. The lips trembled and opened; the half-shut eyelids
faintly quivered; but he could not speak. Again, however, my hand was
feebly pressed. And so he passed--still with his hand in mine--this
noble gentleman of Spain.
Nor does there go by a day when I do not think of de Vilela, the man to
whom I owed so much--so much that I can never repay.
It was the custom in these wars of ours to cut off the heads of the
principal men among our fallen enemies; this the body of Sir James
Fitzmaurice suffered, the head being sent to Dublin, where it was
tarred, and put on a spike above the Castle gate.
But no such indignity befell the body of de Vilela, for, having
obtained permission from Sir Nicholas, I took my men, made a solemn
mourning for him, and buried him on the field of battle, where the
waters of the Mulkern go murmuring past; and there he lies, that true
and noble gentleman, in a grave without a name.
* * * * *
And thus ended the battle of Barrington Bridge, as it is called,
entailing with it the overthrow and collapse of the rising, for
the death of Fitzmaurice--although the war lingered on for long
afterwards--was the death of any chance of success it had.
Desmond, who had been hanging about in the vicinity during the battle,
but had taken no part in it, later met with an inglorious end, and with
him perished his house.
As for Richard Burke and myself, we accompanied Sir Nicholas Malby and
his army in various expeditions, until the beginning of the winter,
when he set out overland to Galway, and we sailed from Limerick the
same day in our ships for that city also. Heaven sent us fair and
gentle gales--perhaps, to make up for all the storms through which we
had passed--and we came safely into the port of Galway where we lay
several days waiting for Sir Nicholas; for, at his particular request,
we--Grace O’Malley and the MacWilliam, and Eva and I--were to be
married in the church of St. Nicholas of Myra.
And I had heard that when these events came to pass, there were among
the spectators many who loved us and wished us well, and many who did
not; but to which of these classes Sir Nicholas really belonged I know
not, for, in the years that came after, he and Grace O’Malley and her
husband, Richard Burke, had many disputes, and the “Queen’s peace” was
often broken.
As for myself and Eva, we sailed away from Ireland to my old home
in Isla, where I was chosen chief in the room of my uncle, who had
succeeded my father, and who was now dead. It was in _The Cross of
Blood_--Grace O’Malley’s last gift to me--that we made our journey, and
that I returned to these isles of Scotland.
Many years have passed since, and in our life there has been winter
as well as summer; but still there is the same light in Eva’s eyes,
and the same love in her voice. It has been our happy lot to grow old
together--to grow old in our love for each other, though that love
itself is as fresh and new as the flowers of the first mornings of
summer.
And so we await the inevitable end.
