“Oh the road to En-dor is the oldest road
And the craziest road of all!
Straight it runs to the Witch’s abode,
As it did in the days of Saul,
And nothing is changed of the sorrow in store
For such as go down on the road to En-dor!”
—Rudyard Kipling.

W.R. O’FARRELL,

an Irish Gentleman,

WHO, HIMSELF INJURED, TENDED THE WOUNDED

ON THE DESERT JOURNEY FROM SINAI INTO CAPTIVITY,

GOING ON FOOT THAT THEY MIGHT RIDE,

WITHOUT WATER THAT THEY MIGHT DRINK,

WITHOUT REST THAT THEIR WOUNDS MIGHT BE EASED;

AND AFTERWARDS,

WITH A COURAGE THAT NEVER FALTERED

THROUGH NEARLY THREE YEARS OF BONDAGE,

CHEERED US IN HEALTH,

NURSED US IN SICKNESS,

AND EVER FOUND HIS CHIEF HAPPINESS

IN SETTING THE COMFORT OF A COMRADE

BEFORE HIS OWN.
