labored in his ritual in spare moments
at Eagle harbor. Only one other per

was his room mate, who, by the way,
rather discouraged than encouraged the
work. Rathbone worked sedulously
and when he had finished his task he
had framed ritual which is said 10

Once founded, the order has grown
rapidly and today, while one of the
