Transcribed from the 11 November 1824 edition of The Enniskillen Chronicle & Erne Packet newspaper, by permission of The British Library: Affecting Incident. Mr. Work, Captain of the Giovanni schooner, from Gottenburgh, while delivering a cargo of deals and iron at a wharf in St. Catherine's on Tuesday last, was accosted by a miserable-looking young man, just returned from America, beseeching a little employment. The Captain, in reply, said, he was sorry he was not in want of any additional hands, as his crew were fully adequate to discharge the cargo. The young man in return expressed his regret, but urged the Captain to suffer him to work only for his meat, as he was literally starving for want of food. Commiserating the youth's unhappy situation, the Captain complied with the condition, and the young man went cheerfully to work in the hold among the crew. Observing on the following day the assiduity of the stranger to discharge his duty, the Captain asked him of what place he was a native?--"Loughrea, in Ireland," he replied. "Loughrea, Loughrea," rejoined the Captain, and "What is your name?" "Denis Work," replied the youth. Palpitating with anxiety, and afraid he might be mistaken, the Captain immediately inquired if he had a brother. "I had," said he, "but it is a long time since I saw him." "What is his name?" almost breathlessly inquired the Captain--"James Work," replied the youth. "Then you must have had letters from your brother?" says the Captain. "Oh, yes, Sir." "Come, come along with me," says the Captain, hastily, and immediately hurried him into the cabin. "Have you any objections to shew me those letters from your brother?" asked the Captain. "Certainly not," said he, and instantly pulled out his pocket-book and produced them. The Captain, assured then almost to a certainty who the young man was, produced from his desk, corresponding letters to himself, and upon the mutual correspondence being laid upon the table, each exclaimed, "Brother!" and they instantly rushed into each other's arms, and for several minutes their feelings were so overpowered with the warmth of their affections, that neither of them could speak till tears came to their relief.--London Paper. ==================
