Irish Recruiter Turns Town Parade Lead to Celebrate St Patrick
In Roundrock Harbor Maine Patrick O'Shea the Boston architect's clerk becomes grand marshal as an apparent plan to stage a town procession backfires when a sea storm band from the Penobscot arrives with 400 Irish volunteers. The ruse yields a celebrated St Patrick's Day parade led by O'Shea with Nellie Murphy watching from the town hall steps.
