Of the occasion evident that the good people Of
ST. Johnswere determined TO give hearty reception
and that when We left Newfoundland We should
carry away q pleasant remembrance Of their hos

which brought Mr. Shea bis 10 Trinity Bay had
about dozen other gentlemen from 81. Johns, whose
Impotence TO see the Niagara before her arrival in tha
port could not be restrained It impossible for
captain 10 refuse the pressing invitations he received
and they were accordingly accepted; but no determined
