THE .KIDNAPPING OF RED HUGH a very secure method of making a de- .scent of ·over ninety feet. There was a year's delay before the second escape was initiated. Unfortunately Hugh had been placed in prison with the half-brothers, Henry and Art. O'Neill and the Earl, according to Walter Reagh, would not put the escape on foot sooner because he "did not love Henry and Art O'Neill"-i.e. did no1t want them at liberty, since they represented dissident elements in his domains .. It has been repeatedly asserted that 'Durlough Buidhe O'Hagan was the guide· who conducted the fugitives flrom Dublin to Glenmal1ure. O'Clery plainly states that he was sent later by the Earl ito conduct Hugh northward and there is not a single mention of him being sent to Dublin in any contemporary source. Fr. Paul Walsh says the guide to Glenmalure was Edward Eustace,, but O'Clery iwrote that he wa;:; the faith:tiul servant who visited the captives in the Castle "as a horseboy." At Ballinacor, Hugh bought from an UlSJter man a horse which he rode north. Feagh MacHugh also gave him another horse "which was a white bobtail." The injuries to his feet, sustained in the escape, were so severe that he was 1unable to walk and had to be lifted on and off his horse. Both the Warrens of Drumcondra and the Mooires of Mellifont, respect-· able colonists, had been secret pa,rties to .1he escape plans and volunteered horses at one time. William Warren was half-brother to Garrett Moore and greatly devoted to the Earl. A SEE FOUNDED BY ST.
