as0TaTR ORGAN RECITAL ARRANGED
FOR SATURDAY NIGHT AT ST. PAUPS

Finale from 5th Organ Sympho-
nv Wolstenholme
The prelude to Lohengrin de-
picts the visitation of the Holy
Grail to earth and its return to
Heaven. In true Wagnerian style
il builds to a beautiful climax in
the manner that only Wagner has
been able to write thus far.
The Water Music" of Handel
was written to win the good favor
of the English king whom he had
offended. The solo trumpets of
the organ play an important role
in the three offerings from this
suite of music.
The writer of the closing num-
Der on this weeks program is the
famous blind English organist,
wolstenholme. His music is def
initely of the English school of or
gan compositions and only
through the help of friends who
transcribed his improvisations
was he able. to write down for US
some Of the beautiful melodies
that are heard in many English
cathedrals today.

In 1878. Peter E. Falcon and his
I son, James d. Falcon. grandfather
and father of Lieutenant Com
mander Ray c. Falcon, civil per
sonnet officer and senior member
of the Labor Board in Key West,
sailed into Key West harbor in the
50-ton schooner Falcon. which the
two elder Falcons had built them
selves, and Lieut.. -ComdT. Falcon,
coming here IS years later. missed
seeing the Falcon by only a few
days.
Rugged and intrepid men of the
sea. with a record of undersea sal
vaging. much of it exceedingly
dangerous. running back to 1854,
the elder Falcons built the schoon-
er in question in Chicago, sailed
down the Mississippi River and
headed for the mouth of the Suw-
aimee River to salvage pigs of iron
from two Confederate vessels that
had sunk there.
The Falcons put on their diving
suits, but. after a thorough inveS-
tigation. they aScertained that the
tops of the vessels were encrusted
with six-foot growths of oyster
shells, and that the water at the
mouth of the Suwannee swaTIned
with sharks So the Falcons aban-
doned their proposed Salvaging
operations and decided to make
the trip a holiday instead.
One warm winter day in 1878.

Father And Grandfather Brought Ship To This Port
Il
FAMOUS SCHOONER BY VERY few DAYS


the Falcon, with all sails set, Gid :
ed through the Northwest Chan
mel into Key West harbor. Wreck
ers" was the term applied in those
days to men who engaged in un-
dersea salvaging. but the Falcons,
on their arrival here. learned that
'he wrecking buSinesS-the type
that renders assistance to ships
that have been stranded-waS
among the most important under
tskingS in Key West. The ship
yards here could not turn out
schoOners fast enough TO meet the
demand. and Peter E. and Joseph
Z. Falcon were offered so high a
sum for the 5O-ton Falcon they de-
cided 10 sell her.
All followers of the sea and
many other residents remember
the Falcon during the 65 years she
piled in local waters. She was re-
planked many a time during that
period. but her timbers continued
TO be sound. Something of the
romance of the sea was interrupt
ed in Commander Fall
cons not seeing the schooner his
grandfather and father had built
and brought TO port in Key West
many years before he was born.
He arrived here on May of this
wear. and few days before the
Falcon had been sold and remov-
ed by the buyers TO the west coast
Of this state.
