They sounded often, and as often as they

fifteen or twenty feet into the air from

tails threw the water half-masthead high.
The crew of the Ely watched the combat
for nearly half On hour, during which the
larger whale was steadily driven toward
the shore.

PRAYERS ON THE CRY or PARIS.
When an Image Of 81. Joseph Was
Dipped Into the Sea There Was . Calm.
Nav YORK Snn.l

A letter has been received in this city
from the Rev Father Robert, g. r, mis-
sionary attached to 1t. Michaei's Passionist
Monastery, West Hoboken, who was pae-
senger on the City of Paris when she was
disabled. The Provincial Of the Pessionist
Order. the Very Rev. Father Benedict, aud
Fathers Thomas and Sebastian were pas
sengers also. In the letter Father Robert
tells what he and the other priests did.
He says: He Father BenedicD told rs
to bless the winds and the waves. Many
vows were then made in honor OF
our blessed Mother, dear st. Joseph,
and our holy father. So. Paul of
the Cross; also many offerings for
tine poor souls IN purgstory. We had
recited the rosary together, many OF
the passengers joining in onr prayer. We
chanted the Ave Maria Stella that the
star of the sea might guide our ship safely
to port. We blessed the sea with the relics
Of 81. Paul. st. Joseph. and the blessed
Virgin Mary, aud then with unlimited con-
fidence IN st. Joseph, we turned 10 him
on whose feast we sailed from home, ans!
under whose special protection we had
placed ourselves. and taking his little
statue. which We carried with us, We
dropped It near the Captains bridge into
the stormy sea, when 10. a calm came over
the mighty ocean, the winds and the wave
were auieted, and all on board said How
good God is to US! ~
Father Robert also says that the sailors
who went in boat with Chiof-Officer Passc
in search Of assistance came TO the ms
sionaries to receive their blessing before
leaving the ship. When che City Of PARIS
reached Queenstown the priests offered M
a mass Of thanksgiving IN the Cathedral
there.
