They had travelled thirty4our hours without sleep. « After an interview they immediately started, on an «ighty-mile motor cari journey across the desolate Highlands I in order to roach Dublin in time for

the meeting of the Dail Eireann on " Wednesday, at which the answer will finally be considered.
