The Irish behaved themselvees brave enough, for after they were broken, they rallied again very vigorously three times ; but were forced to retire to Athlone, unto which place they were pursued to the very walls … It is said, Sarsfield is mortally wounded : but 'tis certain that General Ginkle was brought to Dublin on Sunday-night in a coach, sorely wounded."WING; HISTORY; IRELAND; BROADSIDE; LIMERICK; ; ; ; ; ; ;
