'Mystery Mart s ' Story Blue Point Woman Writes: The biography of Captain Robert Monteith. who accompanied Sir Roger Casement on his ill-fated mission to Ireland during World War I, has been written by a Blue Point woman who certainl y occupied a position to know her subject. She is the daughter of the late Capt. Monteith. Florence Monteith Lynch of <5> ~~~ Blue Point Avenue , Blue Point , using excerpts fro m her father ' s d i a r y , p hotographs , newspaper clippings and private papers , has titled the biography, \The Mystery Man of Banna Strand. \ The title is apt , for Capt. Monteith is indeed a mastery to the millions of Irishmen who up until now have known little , if anything, about his efforts to promote the rebellion against Eng- land. Some have claimed he was a German. Others say he was an Englishman. Florence Monteith Lynch, who felt this chapter in Irish history should be brought before the public , attended creative writing classes in the Patchogue-Medford School System ' s Adult School Pro- gram to polish an already-talented writing hand. Now , the biography of her father has been published by Vantage Press , and copies are available at local stores. The author , who is married to David J. Lynch , declares that Capt. Monteith was neither German nor English—he was Irish , having been born in County Wicklow , Ire- land , in 1879. He is the man who was with Sir Roger Casement in Germany in an attempt to recruit volunteers for an Irish Brigade , which Capt. Monteith was to command for the liberation of Ireland during World War I , Mrs. Lynch wrote. The main action is keyed to the Easter uprising in Ireland during HUG. On Good Friday of that year , Sir Roger and Capt. Monteith were aboard a dinghy launched from a German U-boat in the Bay of Tia- lee. After landing on Banna Strand , Mr. Casement was captured by the British and hanged. Capt. Monteith escaped to a Capuchin monastery, ' masquerading as a monk. He also hid in dugouts and the homes of friends before his eventual escape. From that point on , the author takes up the story of her father who , while not so famous as Sir Roger, led a more colorfu l career. With a price on his head , he- was sought by British vigilantes even in the United States, until his death here in 1956. On the jacket of Mrs. Lynch' s book is this notation: \She saw him (her father) change fro m a healthy young captain , fighting for his beloved Ireland , to a sick old man fighting to undo the lies about his and Casement' s mission. Persecuted by the G-Men and Vigilantes of England even in the United States , • Monteith never gave up the fi ght. \ Mrs. Lynch does take comfort, however , in noting that her father did at least live to see the Re- public of Ireland become a reality.

Prominen t NYC Jeweler Passes At Laurel Home LAUREL — William Jackson Di'Lacy, 61 , Manhattan jeweler and noted choral singer , succumb- ed to a heart atlack last Thursday night after he had fought his way through deep snow drifts to his country heme on North Oakwood Road here. It was Mr. Del.acy ' s practice to leave New York City late on Thursday afternoons to spend weekends at Laurel . Last week' s 14-inch snowfall delayed his train, but he arrived in Mattituck at 9:15 p. m. and was met by a local cab driver who customaril y took him to Laurel . They found North Oakwood Road impassable , and Mr. DcLacy set out to walk to his home, about a quarter of a mile distant. Neighbors found his body the next morning just inside his front door where he had apparently col- lapsed and died. Death was at- tributed to a coronary thrombosis b y the count y medical examiner ' s Office. A Sotithold Town snowp low bogged down in the narrow, wind- ing woods road and Southold po- lice used a sled to remove the body. It was taken to the De- Friest Funeral Home in Mattituck. The rites of the Masonic Order were conducted Monday night at the DeFriest Mortuary. Largel y attended services were held Tues- day at 10:30 a. m. in the E p is- copal Church of the Redeemer , Mattituck , with the Rev . Ferdinand D. Saunders , priest-in-charge , offi- ciating. Interment was in the Cutchogue Cemetery. Mr. DeLacv was president of the George Bell Jewelry Com- pany, a Fifth Avenue , Manhattan , firm dating back to 1877.

Martin 'On the Beach' \Who knows but the world may end tonight?\ —Robert Bi owning English Poet—1812-1889 All-out nuclear war destroys most of mankind. Australia re- mains the last portion of earth on which man is still alive. But a deadly, invisible cloud of radioactive material caught up by the prevailing winds ap- proaches the island continent. Five months or less of life re- main for its residents. Nothing can be done to stop the cloud. Doom is certain. This is the plot of \On the Beach. \ It ' s a depressing film , but I wouldn ' t have missed seeing. it for anything. Just as \Uncle Tom ' s Cabin '' served to promote a war , \On the Beach\ should go far as a deterrent to war . . . that is , if the general populace on Ij oth sides are permitted to see it. According to Variety, the nationally-circulated show peo- ple ' s magazine , \On the Beach\ is going into its eleventh week among the 111 most viewed films on the American theatie screen today. \On the Beach\ is a great piece of fiction . 1 suffered tits of depression for two days after viewing the film. 1 per- mitted myself to bask in the Ian of morbidity for an allotted length of time after seeing \Dracula \ and \Frankenstein , \ too. A clinical analysis of \On the Beach. \ a super science- fiction horror ' film , leads me only as far as Hollywood. The film concerns the activ- ities oi people in /\u5iiuii;i woo have been informed that they have only five months to live. T h e Australian government makes no effort whatever to dig m and preserve life. In fact , the government issues pills to all who would like to hasten their own demise. This is unnatural. The Aus- tralian government would un- doubtedly contrive falioul shel- ters for at least a limited number o£ DIM sons , underground havens where man would be supplied with a great supply oi oxygen , food , 'medicine and the- staples of life. Persons who have found ' them- selves hopelessly stranded in deserts have rationed their food and water in order to put up the light against death. Quoting an aged bromide , \While iliciv s life there ' s hope , \ I'd say that a responsible government would not countenance the issuance of pills that would certainly doom its people. In the film, man went on a drinking, kissing and cussing binge. Gieat. 1 would , too. I' d set the best example you can imagine. But alter a week or so I know I ' d trot down the cellar stairs and haul out the old tool kit. With four months and three weeks left to go , I'd figure out something. It might not work. Perhaps my next door neighbor would invent some better con- trivance for becoming a mod- ern Noah. Most assuredly, my own government would pi ess all its resources into a program that would aid our survival. We cannot discount the fact , either , that this world was not constructed by Man . While Man is wearing pretty long trousers these days, he still places second best, regarding his own destiny. And 1 doubt that he will ever achieve the means for comp letely eradicat- ing so marvelous a works as himself from the face of the earth. Any comments?
