He stared UP into my face, but his
fear of me must have been greater
than of the tapping water below, for
the strands of the rope slipped through
his fingers, and an instant later he
clambered into the bow of the boat,
and sank onto his knees in the water.

surging to the sodden roll of the
doomed yacht, and now damned by her
body, poured over us both in suffocat-

for moment, and then had the girl
safely clasped in my arms, her head

HOLY ROSARY PARISH NEWS.

The hour for first mass on Sundays
has been changed from o'clock to
$3.50 so as to allow men who are
obliged to work to attend the holy
sacrifice before going to their labor,
and also for the convenience of those
who wish to take recreation trips for
the day.
The Provincial of the Dominican or
der, Very Rev. J. R. Meagher, adj
dressed the congregation at each of the
masses on Sunday July %. The spe-
cial object of his visit is to establish
a society for the aid of young men who
desire to study for the priesthood, and
thus partially to relieve parents of the
sacrifices incident to the education and
maintenance of their boys while pre-
pairing for Holy Orders. In this way
it is hoped that religious vocations will
be fostered and increased. Especially
it is the object to induce young men
to declare their intentions to pursue
a religious vocation and give the slim
illus of personal appeal to the con-
tributors to this worthy objective.
