She was just in the bloom of life, 18 years and seven months, but she was like each of us, she had a certain length of time given her below and we trust she is gone where there are no more suffering, no more pain, and where we shall never say good bye. She bore her sickness patiently and was never heard to murmur, and was ready and waiting when the Lord should call her. No doubt she will be missed as she was a girl liked by all who knew her. She leaves a heart broken father and mother and one sister, and a large number of relatives and friends to mourn their sad loss. She was laid to rest on August 28th in the C.of E. cemetery, the service being conducted by Mr. Leander ROWSELL, of Leading Tickles. The writer joins in sympathizing with the heart broken family. “Behold the gentle shepherd stands, With all engaging charms; Hark how he calls his tender lambs, And folds them in his arms. This precious soul to God we’ve led, This has been all our joy; But now the time has come to part, And we must say good bye.” I remain, yours truly, M.S.R. Winter House Cove, Leading Tickles, Oct 25, 1924.

November 29, 1924	Supreme Grand Lodge S.U.F. (Part 1)	The Annual Session of the Supreme Grand Lodge of the Society of United Fishermen opened last evening in the S.U.F. Hall Water Street. All the officers with the exception of the Deputy Grand master Comp. Dr. ANDERSON of Heart’s Content, were at their posts. Everyone regretted the absence of the genial Doctor, who had arranged to attend but was unfortunately detained at the last moment. During the past few days delegates have been arriving and yesterday’s express brought Companions A. DEAN and H. DEAN, representing Maple Leaf Lodge, Whitney Pier; Companions L.R. HOLLETT and C.R. GARDINER, representing Grand Lodge, North Sydney, and Companion J. STRATTEN from Mizpah Lodge, Sydney Mines. We extend to these delegates a hearty welcome and trust their stay in the city will be pleasant – so pleasant that they will want to return again next year. These brethren from across the Gulf are keenly interested in the Order and are very desirous of its progress through the Maritime Provinces. Of the many societies we have in this country we understand that the S.U.F. is the only one of its kind that had its origin in Newfoundland; therefore it is natural to expect all Newfoundlanders who are eligible should get busy and join its ranks.
November 29, 1924	Supreme Grand Lodge S.U.F. (Part 2)	Communications are coming in from various Canadian towns seeking information with a view of securing a branch of this society. Wake up, brethren of the S.U.F. and show that good can come out of Nazareth. The session last evening was chiefly taken up with the addresses of the Rt. Worthy Grand Master, Comp. J. CURNEW, and the reports of the Grand Lodge Secretary, Comp. Geo. HOUSE, and the Grand Purser Comp. J.G. HODDER. While the statistics given in both reports were not such as we would desire – and were brought about by conditions over which the Lodge had very little control – yet optimism prevailed, and before the evening had been far spent, the Lodge had settled down to business. The session will resume work at 2 o’clock this afternoon and again at 7:30 this evening. After the evening session the Grand Lodge is accepting an invitation from No. 5 Lodge S.U.F. to pay them a visit and to partake of refreshments. Needless to say the Grand Lodge appreciates this act of kindness from the City Lodge and is anticipating a most pleasant evening. Telegram Nov 18th.
November 29, 1924	Accident to Prospero	(Transcriber’s note – first part of message partially torn) – On Tuesday ____________flashed _______ Capt. John Fi_____Green Island Cape Bonavista, and fear was entertained that the steamer would become a total wreck. The first message was to Const. TULK as follows from Bonavista. – All passengers landed safely; fear Prospero total wreck Green Island, Cape Bonavista. J.J. MIFFLEN. This was given of the Telephone on general ring. On Wednesday morning Const. TULK received this message: - Malakoff, Senef and Susu pulled Prospero off rocks last night. Very little goods jettisoned. Believe Prospero will be able proceed under own steam. Now at King's Cove. After asking Mr. MIFFLEN for further particulars we received the following Press message on Wednesday afternoon – Prospero under full steam, with Captain and First Officer on bridge, ran on rocks at 5:30 yesterday morning at Green Island, Cape Bonavista. There was practically no ground sea, quite calm but very dark. Preparations were immediately made for landing passengers, which, with the aid and assistance of men from the shore, was soon accomplished. As usual, the life boats were in a shocking and disgraceful condition. The forefoot of the ship was out of water and fortunately she went up on a smooth shelving rock. I understand deck cargo and that in No. 2 hold, were jettisoned. Last night the ship was pulled off the rock by Malakoff, Senef and Susu. Prospero then returned to King’s Cove and will likely proceed to St. John’s under her own steam. I gather there is one small hole in bottom of ship which was plugged. Most of passengers joined yesterday’s Express, the remainder follow to-day. The Ship arrived at St. John’s on Wednesday afternnon under her own steam, and will likely dock before taking up any work. The Portia is on way North, the Sagona taking up the South Western service.

STUCKLESS, took produce etc. from the firm here on Monday. Schr. Tidal Wave, Capt. Wm. BULGIN, with a load of fish and herring, etc. for St. John’s, left here on Thursday from the firm of ASHBOURNE Estate. This is likely to be the last run to the city by schooner for the year. Capt. BULGIN made a quick run in the spring with a load of seals which turned out O.K. Schr. M.P. Cashin, Capt. Wm. WATERMAN, arrived from the Treaty Coast on Wednesday to ASHBOURNE Estate with fish and other produce. The Clyde is still making her regular trip North and will leave so it is announced, on the 29th, for St. John’s. We feel that this is early for the boat to be giving up the service as lots of freight is at present coming into Lewisporte. It will be time to quit when ice conditions will not permit the steamer to run.
