Some time before his death Monsieur
Gazette retired from the sea and pur-
chased a modest hotel. which was pa

there are thousands in MiquelOn, dur

necessary to say that sailOrS-French
sailors especially-are disposed to be
lively and require a strong hand to
keep them within limits. While her
husband lived, Madame Gazette at

and was noted for her bright smile and
