4/21/16: Sir Roger Casement -- native Ulsterman, human rights activist in Africa and South America,
  retired British diplomat and civil servant, and Irish patriot -- arrested near the Banna Strand,
  Co. Kerry, for unsuccessful attempt to smuggle German rifles to Irish Volunteers for use in Rising 
  planned for three days later.
  
                  Now the R.I.C. were hunting for Sir Roger high and low,
                  They found him in McKenna's Fort, said they, "You are our foe."
                  Said he, "I'm Roger Casement, I've come to my native land,
                  And I mean to free my countrymen on this lonely Banna Strand."
  
                          "Banna Strand," (author?)
  
  Notes: R.I.C. = Royal Irish Constabulary.
         Sir Roger was hanged for treason four months later.

Okay, I'll be the one to bite: What does the above have to do with "Happy?" I see the date, of course.
