The recent

this

at
nine
o’clock at the Church of &
S.
Peter
and
Paul- for
the
repose
of

late Roman Pontiff, Benedict

as
Celebrant,
with
Rev.
Frs.

and Sub-Deacon,

spectively,

Fr,
Mec Cann
was
**Maitre de Ceremonie.”’
The Sacred
edifice
was entirely draped
in
black,
and
together
with
the
cata-
falque in the middle aisle with its lighted
candles
presented
a
sombre-grave
ap-
pearance,
in
harmony
with
the liturgy
and ceremonies
for the dead.
Among
those
present
at
the services
were
His
Excellency
the
Governor and
family,
the
.Vice-Chairman
of the Colo-
nial Council, the
Consuls
for Spain,
Ar-
gentine and Haity.
Just
before
the
final
ceremony,
the
Rev.
Fr. Superior,
turning
towards
the
congregation,
paid
a
most
eloquent and
deserved
tribute
to
the
deceased
Pon-
tiff.
He
outlined
the
high
personal
characteristics
of
the late
Holy Father,
his elevated
conception
of human
ideals
his noble efforts
on
behalf
of prisoners
and
wounded
during
the
war,
his
im-
plorations
to the
belligerents
to
sheathe
the
bloody
sword
and
listen
to Justice
and
Charity,
and
concluded
asserting
that the activities
of Pope
Benedict
XV
which would ordinarily require
a lifetime
were condensed
in
his
short
but magni-
ficent reign of seven
years.

ST. JOHN’S NEWS.
A
sad
accident
occurred
in
St.
John
last
week,
resulting
in
the
death
by
drowning of two
men.
_
-
Early
on
Monday
morning,
Thomas
Rymer
aged
42
years,
together
with
his nephew Wesley Mathias
a
lad
of
17
years,
went
oat
fishing
in
a small row
bost belonging to James
Mathias.
They
proceeded
to a bank under the lee of
salt
pond quay,
just
under
Ramhead,
were
seen
on
the
bank
during the forenoon,
but
nothing
was
seen
of
them
later in
the
day.
The non return
in
the
evening
ecaused
alarm,
but
nothing
could
be
done
until
Tuesday morning,
when
a searching
par-
ty went out to look for
them.
The
boat
was
found
attached
to
the
Kkillick, and
floating
between
wind
and
water,
but
no sign of her occupants.
When brought
to land the boat
was found
to
have
been
bilged
(that
is
a
plank
stove in); just
how it happened
is
&« mystery,
as well
as
the
exact
manner
of drowning
of
the~
men, for though Wesley could not
swim,
the elder
man,
Rymer
was
an
excellent
swimmer, and could easily
have
reacked
the quay which
was
pot
more
than
100
yds.
distant,
as
some
years
ago
when
the
boat he
was sailing in, capsized
and
sank
in the
same
locality he
swam
a
distance
of more than
a mile before he
was
found
clinging to a fishpet
buoy
in
a
state
of
exhaustion
but still alive, hence
the belief
is
strong,
that he
was
attacked
by a
shatk...
;
He leaves

children

of them

young,

months old.—St.
