Description
Messrs Cleary and Clarke, members of Catholic committee come out to welcome us and accompany us to shore, get into tender at 6.30 p.m. and soon are beside wharf crossing the dreaded Bar so quickly that we are quite unconscious of it at the time. It is now 11.30 yet notwithstanding the lateness of the hour we have a vast concourse of the good people on the wharf who are actually wild with delight at the arrival of the Sisters. Our saintly Pastor Rev. Father Martin conducts us to the carriages in waiting, which wheel us off rapidly; we are soon domiciled in a charming cottage with kind friends to greet us. Deo Gratias [thanks be to God].
