When the action of 'the fifty ladies became known, there vsva some deinonslnvions marie jn fuvour of ljnch law, but the nuthontips determined to preset vr the pence bv eTpelhng Madame Lynch.

Ihe commander nt tho time was enjoying hi* cl&ret ftt the Progress Club when th« domand was handed him. He gsllantly replied that he would grant har protection if on board his vessel, but that he could nob interfere with tbo laws of the republic or mix himself up m internal affairs. When* the reply went >back Madame 'Lynch receive j it ■without maviog amuicle, and simply asked that her revolver should 'bo placed oa the table. When lying before her <«he coolly remarked, "That friend will me." The hour of expulsion wa»«tfc for one -o'clock at night, as it was believed that tha majority of tho . peopla would be sound -aslc-p at that time, and thus there was no fear of Madame Lynch being mobbed on tho way. -At the hour mentioned the Madame wae ail ready lo »tcp into a coach in readiness for her. S'ie had her revolver firmly in her hand, and her fe.iturfs woie set .iik! detc mined as if to sell her life dearly. Dennis Hugh, a youni? Englishman, offered his sei vie s as g*llimt, wlnoh were received. Seeing Madamo Lynch with t no weapon in her hand, he requested her to let him have it, as in cmc of dai-gnr it would ba more fitting that he should use it. The daring woman replied haughtily that she cuire to Ascension without exhibiting aims, believing them not necessary, but nuw that throat* were mad* against her life, by her euemws, she would *how them how a woman would die in defence of ii r life.
