'''WANTED TO GET DRUNK''' "After this time all the gang were quite sober. [[Joe Byrne|Byrne]] had had a few drinks. He came up and snatched a bottle of brandy out of the bar. I cried because I had very little goods and could not afford to lose it. So I tried to get it back. I implored Ned Kelly not to let them, but he did nothing to stop them. They were all eager to get drunk. And they got pretty drunk. They started preparing to go away, putting their [[Kelly's Armour|iron clothes]] on. But they got wandering all over the house, and some of them couldn't get their iron hats over their heads.
