conversations.value: Redmond O'Hanlon (outlaw): In 1678, former Catholic seminarian Titus Oates had gone public with allegations of a non-existent Catholic conspiracy aimed at assassinating King Charles II of England and massacring the Protestants of the British Isles.\nAs a result, more than 22 Catholic clergy and laity were falsely convicted of high treason and executed at Tyburn.\nThe last to be hanged, drawn, and quartered, was Archbishop Oliver Plunkett of Armagh.\nIn 1680, Father Edmund Murphy agreed to testify falsely at the high treason trial of Archbishop Plunkett.\nWhen this became known in Armagh, Ensign Smith and lt Baker set out to assassinate the priest.\nWhether they did so at O\'Hanlon\'s orders remains unknown.\nHowever, Father Murphy was placed in Dublin Castle for his own protection.\nIn retaliation, lt Baker and Ensign Smith murdered one of Father Murphy\'s informants and delivered his head to the Lord Deputy as that of a hunted outlaw.\nTo Father Murphy\'s outrage, they were paid a substantial bounty.\nAccording to John Marshall, Redmond O\'Hanlon was offered a full pardon by Henry Jones, the Anglican Bishop of Meath.\nBishop Jones, who Marshall describes as, "an ultra-Protestant," was interested in using the outlaw Count as a witness against Archbishop Plunkett and other alleged traitors.\nAccording to Stephen Dunford, "O\'Hanlon refused.\nHe protested that no offer could induce him to betray an innocent man, even though the man in question had on numerous occasions denounced outlaws: during the General Synod of the Irish Church in 1670, the Archbishop had ordered priests and preachers to warn all their people against, \'giving aid to Tories.\n\'" In the spring of 1680, the Duke of Ormonde ordered one of his Dublin spies to find, "an army man in the Armagh area with the credentials to carry out a dangerous undercover task".\nAt the advice of his agent, the Viceroy selected William Lucas, an Anglo-Irish landlord from Dromantine, County Down.\nThe Lucas family had a long and profitable history with the O\'Hanlon gang.\nFurthermore, Lucas\' uncle, Sir Toby Poyntz of Poyntzpass, a justice of the peace, had been named by Rev.\nPower one of the outlaw Count\'s closest associates in the Ulster gentry.\nDespite this, the Duke gave Lucas a written statement: "Whereas William Lucas Gent.\nhath given me good reason to believe that he is able to do His Majesty good service in the Apprehending, Killing, and Destroying of proclaimed Rebels and Tories; if he may, upon occasion, have the help and assistance of His Majesty\'s Army, as he shall desire.\nThese are therefore to Will and Require all His Majesty\'s Officers, Civil and Military, to be aiding and assisting to the said William Lucas in the said service.\nAnd I particularly require all Officers of Horse and Foot, to send as many of the Soldiers, under their respective Commands, as he shall desire with him; and to direct such Soldiers to obey his Orders.\nAnd I further Authorize the said William Lucas in my Name to give assurance to any of the Tories, that in case they shall assist him in the performance of the said service, that they shall have His Majesty\'s Gracious Pardon for any Crimes formerly committed by them, Murder only accepted.\nAnd that over and above, they shall be well rewarded.\nGiven at His Majesty\'s Castle of Dublin this 4th of March, 1680.\nOrmond.\nIn December 1680, Sir Toby Poyntz and his son Charles arranged for Lucas to speak with Art McCall O\'Hanlon, the Count\'s foster brother and trusted bodyguard.\nUsing the Viceroy\'s authorisation, Lucas offered Art a full pardon and half of the bounty in exchange for the murder of Count Redmond O\'Hanlon.\nArt O\'Hanlon accepted the offer and began searching for an opportune moment.\nIn response, Lucas gave Art a written pardon which explained that the Count\'s foster brother was under his protection.

  Well, when we were in the plane and the lights of Brazzaville and Kinshasa came up in the dark with the black river between them, and the pilot starting circling, and there I was sitting with that sucking plastic bag on my knees containing more film than I've ever carried in my life, and over the Tannoy the pilot announces that he thinks he just ought to remind passengers unwise enough to be disembarking in Brazzaville that anyone caught taking photographs in the city goes straight to prison and is never seen again, and I said, "What do you estimate they'll actually do to me?" and you said, "Oh, nothing much, Lary, they'll just tap you about with the odd swagger-stick," and when we got across the tarmac and into that brown cage of a shed with the naked light-bulbs sure as hell there were enough soldiers to start a medium-sized war and they were all carrying swagger-sticks and Kalashnikovs and hand-grenades and Christ knows what and taking people apart in booths and robbing them stupid, I suppose you thought that was funny?'
  That's part of the point. This is the most difficult equatorial African country to get into, the least visited, the least explored, the most interesting. In the swamp-forest we'll see gorillas, chimps, guenons, Forest elephants, Swamp antelope, pythons, three species of crocodile – and a sauropod dinosaur.'
  In a region known as the Likouala, just north of the equator, lie some of the most formidable jungle swamps on the face of the globe... 140,000 square kilometres (55,000 square miles) of mostly unexplored swamp and rain-forest. To be sure, the French, during their colonial rule, made excursions up the major rivers. And a few intrepid European explorers also penetrated the area, bringing back intriguing tales of terrible pygmies and amazing animal life.
  I could not, off-hand, remember any nineteenth-century travellers who had described the humorous and gentle pygmies as remotely terrible; and it was a pity that the French had not actually had the decency to limit themselves to excursions up the major rivers. But surely the animal life would indeed be amazing – even if we confined ourselves to those direct descendants of the great reptiles which were undeniably still about the place, those flying dinosaurs, the birds.

  A lot,' said Marcellin, noticing that Bague had come to the end of his reverie, and switching to French. 'It's that attitude – that's why the village schools are a disaster. And so are the schools in the towns, come to that –ever since the French left, our schools – they've been a catastrophe!'
  Lary, sober, but perhaps feeling a little sick, a thin residue of the bittersweet, stale-tasting, slightly adhesive palm-wine probably still coating his teeth, said, 'I'm married already. And your grand-daughter, Xavier, she's still a child.'
  Marcellin's legs kicked him up and backwards, knocking his chair over, pushing him flat up against the mud wall to the left of the door, as if, at any moment, he expected a burst of Kalashnikov fire to carry the wood away. His left cheek pressed against the wall, 'Identify yourself!' he shouted at the crack of the door-frame, pulling, with both hands, at the document-bag round his waist, trying to get a grip on the zip-tag. 'Comrade! I am an officer of the People's Republic!'
