in getting away from the Sicilian coast
in sail boats. After a frightful expert

the groups of unfortunates joined forces.

They stood on the mountain side plunged

solemnly called down the blessing of God
upon the desolated city. Peace TO the
dying he cried: peace TO the dead.
Men. women and children knelt to the
