PANIC PREVENTED
By 4 SCNS ADDRESS.

The panic had been precipitated by the
falling of the north wall OF that section OF
the building in which negroes had sought
refuge. Older and sjlt ut prayer was brought
about by the nuns words.
Families that had been separated by the
devastating conflict of the elements were
united by the cruel waters of the Gulf
tossing them into this haven Of refuge.
The academy was 10 have opened for the
fall session Tuesday and forty-Jwo board
ing scholars from all parts of the State
had arrived at the convent preparatory to
resuming their studies on that day. The
community of nuns comprises forty sisters
and all OF them present were administering
cheer 10 the sufferers, many of whom Were
nearly dead when brought into the shelter.
Early il the storm. when victims dragged
themselves or swan to the convent and
asked for protection. an attempt was made
TO keep = register of the uufortuHa tes
Their register reached nearly 100 names
and then the storm-arlven refugees began
TO arrive at the shelter in crowds OF twenty
and thirty.
They were taken In through the windows
some were dragged through five feet of
water into the basement, wEich long before
had been abandoned Oh account OF the In
vasion of the Gulf.
Others were rescued by ropes from tree
tops and snatched from roofs and other
wIeckage as 1t was hurried III the torrents
through the convent yards. Within this re-
liglous home and in cells of the nuns four
babes came into the world. -Four mothers
had brayed the storm and were snatched
from the jaws Of death
Ii was the darkest and most terrible night
In the lives Of their mothers. and there was
mingled sadness and JOY attending the
births Of these children.
Mother Superior Joseph, in speaking of the
Incidents of the night within the convent
walls, said she believed il was the FIRST
time in the history Of the world that a
babe had been born In nuns cell In Il
convent.
Immediate christening followed. because
no one expected to live to see the light OF
day.
Regardless of the religious belief OF the
parents, a house dedicated to God and
charity had afforded shelter to the storm
victim mothers and they felt that the go d
sisters should administer the baptism,
which is Administered IN time of great dam
