Sloan, Jack - 1798 - "THE PITCH CAP"

"For ages rapine ruled the plains,
And slaughter raised his red right hand;
And virgins shrieked and roof-trees blazed,
And desolation swept the land."- ANON

THE MONTH of June arrived, and the men of the North felt the crisis to be at hand. It was at hand, and that crisis was doubtless accelerated by events, some of which cannot be passed over in this narrative. In a lonely hut, convenient to Newtownards, and quite close to what is now known as "The Gallows Hill", lived Jack Sloan, a poor blacksmith. Jack was unmarried; a simple-minded, harmless creature who lived alone, and was much of a recluse in his habits. He was an excellent tradesman, his charges were light, and he was - perhaps for that reason - rather a favourite with the farmers of the district.

In those days every man who worked at an anvil was suspected of manufacturing pike heads, and every country carpenter was suspected of making pike handles. These men required to exercise the strictest caution, and many of them were subjected not only to inconvenience by having their premises searched, but also to serious ill-treatment at the hands of the soldiery and yeomanry.

As far as can be ascertained, Jack Sloan refused to have any hand in the making of pikes. He was certainly not a United Irishman, and when he did converse with people upon the subject, he invariably urged upon them to have nothing to do with a rebellion, as no good would come of it. Thus he was, to all appearance, a loyal subject to the King, and one deserving to be exempt from the surveillance or interference of his Majesty's bloodhounds.

But the humblest man has his enemies, and Jack was no exception. Information was conveyed to Colonel Stapleton, at Newtownards, that Jack was never seen abroad; that his anvil and bellows were at work every night, and that without a doubt large quantities of pike heads were being turned out at his forge. The name of the informer has never transpired - probably owing to what afterwards happened.

One day in the very beginning of June 1798, as Jack worked away at his forge, he was astonished to see a party of soldiers surrounding the place. Dropping his hammer and a piece of iron which he had been fashioning into a gate-bolt, the blacksmith stood gazing in speechless wonder.

"Ha!" cried a soldier, "what's that?" As he spoke he picked up the unfinished bolt. But he dropped it more quickly than he lifted it! The iron was hot and burned his fingers severely.

"Damn you;" he exclaimed as he struck Jack with his musket, "you are making pikes!" Jack staggered under the blow, but, instantly recovering himself, he exclaimed -

"Afore God, gentlemen sodgers, a em not makin' pikes!" "And what do you call that?" said the first speaker, kicking the offending it of iron across the floor of the smiddy.

"It's a boult for a man's gate; it is indeed, sir," stammered the terrified creature ' "You're a rebel and a liar; down on your knees!" said the soldier, seemed to have command of the party. Jack did as he was ordered. "Now," continued the soldier, "say 'God bless his Majesty King George the Third!' With quivering lips, but with a loud voice, Jack repeated the words. "And to hell with all United Irishmen and other rebels!" said the soldier. Jack made no response.

"Do you hear me? demanded the soldier.
"A dae, sir," said Jack looking him steadily in the face.  "Then say what I desired you!" "A wull not, sir," said Jack quietly but respectfully; "a'll never wush ony man tae gang tae hell!"
"Then you'll soon be there yourself if you don't say as I told you!" cried the brute, who, thus armed by the law and surrounded by armed men, bullied a harmless and defenceless man.

Jack was a hero! The world never knew it. He did not even know it himself. He was still upon his knees, and, clasping his hands, he turned his eyes upwards towards the blackened roof of the smiddy, while his lips moved as though in prayer. "Open your mouth, sir, and do as I ordered you! Curse the United Irishmen!"

As the soldier spoke he drew his bayonet and thrust the point of it into Jack's mouth. The flesh was cut, and blood trickled from the wound.

Jack rose to his feet amid the laughter and jeers of the soldiery. "A'll dee furst!" he exclaimed. "A'm a loyal subject o' the King's - God bless and preserve him - but a'm sorry he has fellows like you aboot him." This was going too far, but Jack did not know it. The soldier who had already questioned him next ordered him to give up any pikes he had.

"A never made a pike in my life," replied Jack, wiping the blood away that was flowing over his chin. "You have pikes concealed somewhere!" retorted the soldier. "Na no yin," said Jack. "I'll make you find them!" said his tormentor. "Come, lads, tie him to his own anvil, and give him a round hundred!" The soldiers gave a cheer, threw down their arms, and seized upon their victim. "Try a pitch-cap!" cried one of the party. "Have you got it?" asked the leader. "Half-a-dozen", was the reply, as the man handed one to his superior, who shouted - "Here, boys, try this first! We'll make him curse all the rebels from here to Wexford!"

The pitch-cap torture was truly an infernal one. The invention of it is attributed to the North Cork Militia. At all events, they were the introducers of it in the County of Wexford. The caps were made either of coarse linen or strong brown paper, beasmeared inside with pitch, and always kept ready for service. It was one of these that was about to be fitted upon the Head the unfortunate blacksmith.

Poor Jack looked on in silence, wondering what was going to happen.

One of the soldiers, seizing hold of the smiddy bellows, brightened up the fire. Another held the "cap" over the coals until the pitch had melted and attained boiling heat.

"Ready, boys!" he shouted. Jack was forced to sit down upon the floor, where he was held until the instrument of torture was fitted to his head.

His hair was short, a circumstance which proved unfortunate in two ways. The soldiers at once declared him to be a "croppy", and the boiling pitch, penetrating to his scalp, burned him like molten lead. With a yell of agony he dashed the human fiends aside, and sprang to his feet. They had no wish to hold him now. That would have spoiled the sport.

The wretched creature rushed from the smiddy, followed by his tormentors, and darted off at headlong speed to a stream near hand hoping to plunge therein his burning head. But he was not permitted. No sooner did his design become apparent than he was surrounded and knocked down. He rolled upon the ground in agony, his eyes starting from their sockets, a bloody foam issuing from his mouth.

"Where are the pikes?" cried the leader. "A hae nane; no yin! Afore God, a hae nane! Oh, let me at the water!" pleaded the suffering man.

"Where are the pikes?" again demanded the soldier, and as he spoke he inflicted a deep bayonet wound on Jack's thigh.

For a moment the creature writhed in agony. Then, crawling to his knees, he pointed to a large beech tree growing some fifty yards off, and gasped -

"Dig at the fit o' that tree!" "Ha!" exclaimed the soldier, "who was right? Come, lads, follow me, and let him scratch his head till we return!"

They scampered off to the tree pointed out. The soil encircling it was fresh and apparently untouched. But they plunged in their bayonets, and turned up the sod to a considerable depth.

"The old beggar has lied!" they cried, "there's nothing here!" "All right" said the leader, "we'll give him the two fifties now." The enraged soldiers returned with a rush to Jack. He was lying upon his face. The foremost of them seized him by the arms and swung him to his feet. As he did so, the others uttered a shout of dismay.

Their victim was dead! He had sent them to the tree for a moment's respite, and in their absence he had terminated his agonies.
