The woman who risked all over a fuel pipeline

RECENTLY I watched on television that victorious hunger-striking lady up in Co Mayo. Having ended her strike, do you realise what she did next? Why, she drove off in one of those infernal new-fangled automobiles. Is there to be no end to her audacious bravery?

Thoroughly researched in all matters gaseous, she must be only too aware that petroleum spirits are, weight for weight, potentially more explosive than TNT (just vaporise and mix with air first).

Furthermore, I have it on good authority that inside these so-called automobiles these highly explosive fluids are transported from a receptacle called the fuel tank to another device — a device both infernal and yet internal. This, in its workings, is too diabolical to be described to your delicate readers.
