OK, OK! I knew of both books (wasn't there a link to a scanned copy of Flying Cloud in a thread lately?) Didn't realise there was any mention of Skibbereen!

At first sight, it seems strange to amend the text using later versions - but Bob Waltz knows his business, of course. I'll have a look at the online versions of the texts.

Incidentally, the other point supporting '48 (Fenians) rather than '98 (United Irishmen) is the reference to the Queen.
