Amusing rescue at flood masks life and death act
A Manting paper recalls the rescue of Laslett from flood danger as a perilous, self sacrificing effort by Senior-Constable Haddon. Lasley could not swim and required aid, while Gloucester residents seek reverent acknowledgment. Masses planned on May 22 and 23 and confirmation instructions in St Joseph's Gloucester with Bishop Dwyer to consecrate the cemetery. An aside promotes Woods Great Peppermint Cure for bronchial coughs. An attack on Penn Church in Buckinghamshire involved arson attempts and damage to the organ.
