One of the saddest of ocean mysteries
was the fate Of the 100 souls who sailed
from Philadelphia on Dec. /, 1889, in the

by the government Of Hayti, and she
sailed for Port au Prince. She had two
Haytian senators on board, the wife of a
commanding officer and crew of over
100 young men recruited in Philadelphia.

Brings now but certainty of pain,

To know yon noble, sweet and pure,
