These were the last words of Michael Collins as lie lay dying from an assassin's bullet. They were addressed to Major General Dal.on. The assassination occurred between Macroom and Bandon. Collins wns accompanied by the members of his staff and was visit iiiu various military positions in the BOUth of Ireland. A large number of irregulars were in the ambushed party. An armed car accompanying the national iirmy officials inflicted heavy casualties upon the republicans. Just as the attack was beaten off, a bullet si ruck Collins' BkUll and he expired In a few minutes. The assassination of Collins was preceded in Dublin by a kind of battle or propagar la, both provisional government and irregular advocates posting placards settiiiK forth the respective aim? and claims of :heir parties.
