Conor manages to warn most of the Catholic workers, but gets caught by the mob himself after he helps the train drivers who do the gun running. Conor is preparing for the final and biggest gun shipment when a massive riot breaks out in the shipyard where he works. They make several more runs as the very creepy Reverend MacIvor continues to stir up trouble in Belfast between Protestants and Catholics. With Shelley out of the picture, Conor gets down to business with the gun running and they have their first successful transfer. Shelley realizes that they can never live happily together because of this, and decides it’s best for both of them to break up. Conor doesn’t want to go back to Ireland, but he has a dream where Kevin O’Garvey comes to him and kind of shames him into continuing his work with the Brotherhood. The tour ends and Conor and Shelley get to have a little holiday in Blackpool. He was supposed to meet with another Brotherhood leader to discuss plans for smuggling guns into Ireland, but he balked and ran out. We left off the story with Conor on tour with the rugby team in England. Look away now if you want to retain any happy feelings. I have finally returned to bring you the depressing conclusion to Trinity, the Irish epic by Leon Uris.
