SUDDEN SQuALl.
TUESDAY AFTERNOONS WEST.
ERIN GALE DID SOME DAMAGE.
Fierce Blow Nearly Upset Motor
| Boat At Lono Island.

Fierce Blow Nearly Upset Motor
Boat at Long Island.
The sudden westerly squall and
thunder shower that visited Casco
Bay Tuesday afternoon was marked
by the fierceness Of the wind, cloud
burst Of drenching rain which went
with 1t and the thick fog arising from
the contact of the warm rain with
the water. Most of the yachtsmen
saw the storm coming and were
reefed or anchored to ride it out. A
sloop yacht had her mainsail blown
away as she was beating up into the
teeth of the gale near Cow Island and
after the blow she was observed near
the Long Island shore safely anchored
but with much evidence of damage to
her rigging.
The narrowest escape from a seri-
Gus upset was the case of the motor
boat captained by Jake Bailey with a
party OF South Harpswell visitors who
had been to the Gem Theatre at
Peaks Island. They had returned as
far as the west end of Long Island
when the squall struck, and being
heavily loaded the safest course
seemed to be to make for the wharf.
At that time the fog was so thick and
the wind SO intense that instead of
getting on the leeward side they were
blown up against the piles on the
windward side OF the pier, where the
mountainous seas nearly upset the
heavy craft. The drenched occupants
were landed finally with assistance
from Mate Thompson and ]. w. Gill
am OF the steamer Sebascodegan and
all embarked on the Sebascodegan
which had been tied up there during
the excitement. The party who so
narrowly escaped serious accident
were Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Neville,
Miss Edna Murphy. Mrs. E A. Farqu-
harson. Miss Mabel Farquharson, Mrs.
sydney B. Bowman and daughter
Dorothy, Miss Cassie Young. Mrs. ].
n. Robinson, Mr.. E. H. Robinson. Mrs.
N. w. T. Knott, Miss Leslie Knott
and Mr.. Frederic Nutting.

Mr.. Haeerman's Address.

Father Herbert. Ladies and Gen
tlemen:
1T is said that a touch of Nature
makes the whole world kin, and it is
equally true that pity for the suffer
ings of our fellow-men eradicates all
artificial distinctions of sect and
creed. We have gathered together
here today to begin a work. which.
while under the management and pa
tronage of the Catholic church, is to
be for the use and benefit of the
whole community.
THE broad humanity in the care
of the sick and the unfortunate
which is manifested by the great
church which you, Father Herbert, so
worthily represent in this communi-
ty. is a constant source of admira-
ton to the Protestant world. There
is scarcely city or town of any i'm
portance- in Europe in which one
does not see your hospitals and other
beneficent institutions, or in which
cannot be found Sisters-of-Mercy

ed lives in the nursing of the sick

answer to the call of rich and poor

vine pity which is the corner stone
of Christianity There are few of us
who. some time in our lives, have not

kindness of these self-effacing min.
listers or mercy. Personally, 1 have
reason to remember them for their
