Rickerson Trumpour, had marshalled his men and the nets were in constant use until dawn, by which time forty thousand whitefish had been taken; the largest haul ever known to have been made at this particular place. W. H. Garrett, the grandson of Isaac, assisted on this memorable occasion, by taking out a boat and holding up the cork line of the seine, over which the net being full, the fish were escaping. His share was to be all the fish he wanted; and he filled his boat to the number of about seven hundred." TRUMPOUR, John R. (I4680)

The rebellion failed because the promised French support did not materialize. Robert Emmet, the cousin, was captured by the British and hung as a traitor. Robert Emmet Curlett, along with others, excaped and hid in the coastal caves east of Belfast until they could board a ship out of the country.

That is the story of how Robert Emmet Curlett came to North America." CURLETTE, Robert Emmet (I4491)
