Memorable cyclone tragedy and a tale of devotion
A Cyclone wrecks a boarding house on a bluff killing all but one, a missionary schoolmistress who died protecting a baby she clung to. Her body bore severe injuries yet she held the child until death, cradling the infant in her arms as the storm tore through fences and shredded her attire. An accompanying anecdote recalls a wealthy New York merchant who built a million dollar empire yet wore only undershirt cuffs and a dingy collar, reflecting old Irish gentility.
