TENDER II, 1876, voyaging through the Malacca
Straits, when her commander and the surgeon of
the vessel James Anderson, saw an object which
had been pointed out by the third officer shoal.
The weather fine and the sea smooth 1t was
found, further inspection, that the supposed
shoal was in notion keeping the speed as the
ship. 1t had somewhat the shape of a gigantic
frog. The head pale yellowish in color, twenty
feet long, and directly connected without
fifty feet in length Behind was discernible an
immensely long tail cylindrical in shape and slightly
tapering. Apparently the creature possessed no
fins paddles This allowing for some exaggera-
ton in point of size, may have been a calamary,
swimming with its tail elevated above the surface
of the water
AS suggested by Goode and Bean however, in
trying to identify the real sea-serpent one is not
restricted to the consideration of animals already

that the glorious victory by Don Andres
Lopez de Azaldigni off Cavite in 1647, where
with an inferior force he defeated twelve Dutch
men-of-war and saved Manila, was due to the
ntercession of the VIRGIN" The people be-
Eeved also that "Our Lady" preferring Antipolo
to Manila Cavite, several times abandoned
those cities and found enshrned in the
fowery branches of the 'tpolo-tree (hence Antipo-

retreat In 1858 she again braved the stormy seas
in the galleon San Jose, and remained in her former
home for eighty-fve years. In I746 she again was
borne to Manila and then was installed Captain
of the flagship Nuestra Sonora del Pillar sailing for

years.

uted to her sister of Lollrdes | doubt if MANY
natives would make the necessary exertion to take
their aing relatives and friends to her altar
1t is related that in the Chinese uprising in $40
the image received a lance wound in the cheek
Although many attempts have been made to fill
the scar with putty, or to cover it with paint, they
always have failed and it is believed that the Virgin
wears 1t proudly honorable wound. When
the American forces captured Antipolo, it is said
that the fleeing insurgents had buried sixty thousand
pesos beneath the altar. The American commander
gave orders that the church be not disturbed The
money escaped capture, and the Filipinos believed
that its safety due entirely to the wachful
of the Virgin
And SO, with such long and sacred history be-
hind it, the presence of this relic has made Antipoo
a sort of Mecca to the sentimental Filipinos and
when it moved to Manila last winter it gave an
1mpressveness to the celebration of the fftieth
anniversary of the dogmatic Interpretation of the
mystery of the immaculate conception" that prob
ably would not have been achieved there otherwise
The image escorted to the capital by numerous
church and state dignitaries and through long
lines of inhabitants lining the shores of the
Pasig River.
The day December 81 had been made legal
holiday by the Philippine Commission and as the
following proclamation had been issued nearly all
the inhabitants turned out to take part in the affair

A passageway had been erected behind the shrine
in the cathedral where the image was installed,
and seemingly endless stream of humanity
crowded along this to kiss the Virgins" garments
Many of these people were ignorant and poor
large number were partially blind or diseased and
numerous of the adults bore the marks of smallpox
all hoping that their ailments would be cured.

1851 the royal galleon
San Francisco Xavier
carried the celestial
sonora on her fourth
voyage to Acapulco,
where she remained
until 1858. Having
guided the vessel safely
back to Manila, the
Virgin set out to
take UP her former

was received with such
acclamations and joy
wherever she passed
that twelve days were
occupied in making the
journey of fifteen miles.

magical healing properties credited to "Our

The full of the Virgin" is Miestra Sejioya
de la Pas y Buen Viae. 1t first came into general
notice in 1926, when it attracted the attention of
Don Juan Nino de Tavora the Governor-General of
the Philippines, who observed it when passing
through Acapulco, Mexico and was SO struck with
its serene aspect and beautiful eyes full of love
and triumph that he determined to take it with
him to the new capital. The preliminary arrange
ments were made easily and SO the image with much
ceremony was transferred to the princely galleon
and after a voyage of four months was landed at
Cavite. solemn and splendid procession of church
dignitares and state officials met the vessel and
escorted the Virgin" to the cathedral Shortly
afterward she took up her abode at Antipoo, where
she remained for nine years.
The Chinese finally arose in revolt against the
Spaniards, committing depredations and outrages
throughout the Provinces about Manila destroying
plantations, burning villages and killing the in
habitants Antipolo taken after desperate
resistance and given to the flames. the church re-
naming heap of ashes inclosed by redeemed walls
But what was the wonder of the inhabitants when
from the ashes and cinders uncovered a wooden
cross and the image of the Blessed Virgin" per-
feet and untouched by fire! From this miracle
dates the real greatness of the image The Captain
General and the Archbishop removed the cross and
Virgin, so miraculously saved: the crucifx to the
royal chapel the Virgin" to Cavte, where she
remained for thirteen years and was proclaimed as
patron of voyages between the Philippines and

During this period the Virgin" made several
voyages to New Spain, always insuring safe jour

Alonzo Garcia bore her in the galleon San Luis on
her first visit home to Mexico. Again in I643 she
made the trip with General Lorenzo de Ugalde

She is supposed to help
the sick, watch over the
seafaring, procure happi-
ness for the bride, and
perhaps affords the most
spiritual concept that the
average Filipino ever forms
of the Mary who was the
mother of Jesus. They
all firmly believe that she
performs great miracles.
The shrine of Antipolo has
no special reputation for
healing disease. The Fill

other Eastern races, look
upon injuries, disease and
suffering with a callous

IN the little backwoods
village of Antipolo,

miles east from Manila,
lies a venerated religious
relic that is looked up to
with superstitious awe by
the Filipinos. 1t is a

as the Virgin of Anti

when it was moved tenn

THE SEAS ENDLESS HARVEST.

THE SEAS ENDLESS HARVEST.
 The permanence of sea fisheries is, one of the most wonderful examples of natural economies. The North Sea has, been steady fished for seven centuries by the Dutch and English, and as early as the days of Henry VII. English boats were at work as far north as Ice land; yet the sea ses inexhaustible. In spite of steam travellers and improved nets, the catch is larger every year. The "longshore" fishery for her. rings, nhackerel, and sprots has sur- passed all record during the past few seasons, and yet no effort is made to replenish the stock in the sea, and very little is done to prevent waste. If only the fishermen could be induced to put back into the sea the millions of in- mature fiat fish caught in the travis and nets, it seems probable tlla tthe supply. would be increased. --TheC eCoun- try Gentlemen and Land and Water.
