been well taken because the southeaster hit. And now they were in a position where they could not come back in because of the rocky coastline and they had to head for Margaree Harbour, Now, remember, they were both young, powerful, and expert in a boat and they figured they'd make it. When the storm hit, this began to trouble the people in Cheticamp, and they began to call up. The phone was quite in use then, and they'd call up the people at Grand Etang and Point Cross and St. Joseph du Moine wondering if they could see a sign of this boat on the coast, An awful lot of the people went down to the shoreline, and oc? casionally they could hear the sound of the boat. As she'd come up on the crest of the wave they'd hear the putt of the motor, and then she'd go down in the trough of the wave again. After about probably an hour everybody from Margaree Harbour down knew that these people were at sea and the dead? ly danger they were in but they couldn't send anything out to try to get them be? cause they'd only lose their own lives.

MUNICIPALITY OF THE COUNTY OF RICHMOND But strange as it seems they made right up as far as right off the shore at Belle C6te, right off that cove. And there was a crowd on the shore and they could hear the boat. Then finally they lost sight or sound of the boat and they knew that she went down. Now that evening Tommy's body was found and it was carried in from the rocks. Now, you'd think that was the end of the story but it's not. Danny Mike--there was about three days afterwards, he was coming up in the same place with the same horse- and-buggy coming home--he'd been to some business--and they still hadn't found Pad? dy's body. And as Danny was (coming to) the same spot, this time he saw the crowd that was there. There was a huge crowd down on the shore and as he was coming close, he saw them taking the body off the rocks. This time it was Paddy's body. And he realized at that time that only three weeks prior to that Paddy had seen the forerunner of his own death! Now, that's not a make-up story. That's true. Now I'd like to give you another type of forerunner and this time there are people who are gifted, I would rather say it was a curse rather than a gift to be able to see in the future. And one of the people who could see into the future was an old schoolteacher and probably your mother might have gone to her school at Margaree Forks, Her name was Mary Belle Cameron, she never married, Mary Belle Cameron was teaching in Judique ROUTE 4 The road less travelledl ST.
