SAVED BY DREAM

REMARKABLE INCIDENT IN LIVES OF M OTHER AND SON. STORY OF SHIPWRECK. Morbihan (Brittany), Eept. 28. W'ben news reached bere of the foundering of the Marie Lucie II there was one man able to congratulate himself on the fact that he -was alive instead of being at the bottom of the sea with his comrades. And the mannier in which he escaped is remarkable enough to provide material for discussion among stu dents of the occult for years to come Five weeks ago Pierre Guigniol sailed from here with the ship for a spell of fishing off the coiast of Newfoundland, and they had settled down to their work when he was troubled hy a dream in which' he saw his mother, v/ith-the pallor of death on her faca, lying on her bed and beckoning her son to her. When the dream was twice repeated, Pierre felt that he could no longer ignore it, and though his shipmates laughed and talked of an attack of softening of the hrain, he made up his mind to return to France with the first available boiat. He found his chance with another trawler of the same fleet, and exchanged position with a neighbour here, who laughed as heartily as the others lat the sudden loss of nerve on the part of Pierre. Mlraculous Recovery. When he reached Morbihan he found that his mother had in fact been ill for some days and her life was despaired of, but tbe arrival of her favourite son had a heneficial effect and she made a miraculous recov.cry. Just when Pierre was inquiring ab >ut another ship to take him back to Ncwfoundland waters, news came of the total loss of the Mlarie Lucie II, and it is now obvious to the man and his mother that the dream sav.ed nct only his life but that of the mother. For the doctors say that but for the arrival of the loved oue sh'e would have succumbed to her illness, and certainly had he not been induced by his dream to return to Brittany he weuld have gor.e down with his shipmates.
