the Florida reef to Bahama, the vessel trying

tion Of the sacraments OF the Church

words in denial that no had intcn-

that here was 4 man earnestly desir.
ing to do right as he saw it. To give
back to tho company-not u bagatellc,
as in some instanccs-but the greater
part of what he had. was an act Of

people must have advised him against
such 4 course. His former critics now
freely concedc that he was the victim
of a system and that in paying out
the company's money to the politicians
to protect it's interests, he only did

Comment is heard on tho fact that
Mccall, unlike some others. would not,

this as due to the Irish contempt for
any act that might seem to be that OF

kinds of people consider that the ties

morning when he referred to the high
