SERVICES; AT SEA. ' V I • Tho spccial correspondent of the London "Tablet," writing from Toronto oil August ■ 21-, states ; x . The voyage o£ the Empress of' Britain, tho boat in which the Archbishop of Westminster sailed on August 12 t for Quebec, has certainly done nothing j towards, justifying the idea whicii ; sailors have that "black coats" bring I 1 bad weather. Besides his Grace, there ' woi'o on board eight priests, to say no- .1 thing of the Bishop of London and < somo half-dozen clergyman—enough surely to provoke a very stormy cross- < ing. But the ship made tho'smooth- ] est of 'passages, and it was possiblo to , havo Mass every morning. On . the | Feast of the . Assumption there were ' several Masses in. different. ■ parts of tho ship; In tho afternoon his Grace , received a Marconigram from Canon Gauthier oil board'tho Empre'ss of Ire- : land, who is on his way to meet the 1 Cardinal Legate at Liverpool, and "accompany him to Canada. The message conveyed a -welcome from the Archbishop of Montreal. -The Archbishop of Westminster arrived at. Quebec on- August 18, nnd left the following' evening for Toronto. Immediately upon his arrival at i Quebec lie went to visit tho. shrine of St. Aiine. of Beaupre, accompanied by tho Archbishop of Quebec and others. A special car' took tho party to 'St. Anuo's, whoro his .Grace, received* a' cordial welcome at the hands of tho Eedomptorist Fathers, who have there an important house with' a 'flourishing. Juvenate. _ After , visiting. . the! shrine the Archbishop addressed' a few words;to 'the .students asking their . prayers for, the conversion of England, and returned; to Quebec. Next 'day; lie 'left for Toronto in a special car kindly placed '.at his , disposal by tho authorities of the Grand Trunk Railway. Owing to the breakdown of a.freight train tho connection ' with-': the- Tofonto '< express- at Montreal could not be made; but a special train .was.in waiting 1 which conveyed the party in record time to Toronto; passing-, the; express ■on tho way. Here' the, Archbishop , was met! and; entertained by, tho clergy of tho \ Cathedral: parish —the- Archbishop of Toronto being absent from home.
