An Irish Sport Abroad: Pat Mulloney's Adventures This serialized adventure by C. L. Edwards follows Roger Mayfield's rescue from Sioux captors by the frontier hunter Red-Feather and his portly companion Bogard. The action opens in 1844 near the Yellowstone headwaters, where Red-Feather and Bogard discover Mayfield pinioned to a tree. Using a dramatic stratagem—stampeding the Indians' horses through their camp—they free Mayfield, who kills a guard and retrieves his rifle. The captive reunites with Patrick Mulloney, an Irish servant from whom he'd been separated during a buffalo hunt gone wrong. The group flees into a ravine where a storm erupts with supernatural-seeming sounds. The chapter concludes as the Sioux locate them, opening combat. The tale combines frontier adventure, pursuit narrative, and Irish comic characterization through Mulloney's dialect speech and exclamations.
Each page has its own page — the cartoon, who’s in it, and what the satire means.
