He found Hart's tender and the bodies of the two men that Hart had already shot. He took Hart back to Dunmanway, and there had problems getting Hart to give up his revolver.

Worked at "Soho Mill" in Wooburn, Nr High Wycombe, one of the last paper mills on the River Wye in Buckinghamshire. For over a thousand years the River Wye powered water mills, and at one time paper manufacturing was an important industry in the valley. Papermaking continued at the Soho and Glory mills till the end of the twentieth century, though the water-mills gave way to steam in the mid-nineteenth century. The Soho mill in Wooburn was the prime supplier of high-grade colour paper till its demise in 1984. The last paper mill - Glory Mill - closed in 2000
