The Wolf Point herald. (Wolf Point, Mont.) 1913-1940, 1930-11-07

Little Church Around the Corner
on Castle Garden, now called Ellis
Island, where the immigrants
stop for a while. We got back tc
the Hotel about six O'Clock.
Wednesday morning we were
all in the lobby. 237 of US, to take
busses to the dock. 1t was the
funniest sight l eve saw, every
one talking at once, no one listen
ing. The officer would call our
names, but only those near him
could hear him. He would have
to send some one through the
crowd to find the one he wanted.
Maybe she had heard her name
and gone to the bus. After a long
search they would find her there.
The officers never seemed to lose
patience. Sometimes they would
get one they were looking for,
bring her forward, turn their
backs to her to get some n else,
and the one they found first would
walk off.
The Trip Across
We to be on board at nine
o'clock. I think they got us there
a little after eleven. They gave us
all rooms or cabins. There were
three in my cabin, a French, an
English and an Irish woman. We
had a fine dinner, then went out
on deck, where the chairs and
rugs were reserved for US.
On board they serve consomme
and crackers every forenoon, and
tea or coffee and cakes in the af-
ternoon. They bring it on deck
to us or anywhere we happen to
be. On one occasion I was sitting
next to Mrs. McCabe. She looked
up and said Here comes tea, l
must take out my teeth" which
she did. She wore them in her
purse while she was eating.
Two priests went over with us.
We had two Masses every morn
ing, but none came back with us.
Mrs. LeMay, a French woman,
asked the steward if there was a
priest on board. He said mo"
She said What will we do if we
are going to die?" He said 1.-THE
Captain will do as we'll" She said
yes, I would like to confess my
self to the Captain, l guess mott"
