Mr. Gooby, who was born and brought up at St. Johns, Newfoundland, which city lost many of its most gallant seal fishers, was personally acquainted With the majority of those who con- stituté the list of dead. The local man also did missionary work in the several other afflicted cities, and sharés the sorrow of the appalling news with the survivors there. Mr. Gooby received in his mail yes- térday copies of St. Johns newspapers, whiéh were sent him by his brothers, Willlam and Simeon Gooby, who re- side in that city. He was grief-strick- én to learn that many of his former ¥ ebmrades were on the ill-fated ships and had lost their lives. In his younger days the local man traveléd extensively in the vicinity whete the disasters occurred and had fréquént occasion to come into per- s0fial contact with Captain Kean of thé Newfoundland, who was -num- bered among the survivors. Another fitherman, whom he had known, was S0 séverely frostbitten, according to the accounts in the St. Johns papers, that it was necessary to amputate both his arms and legs. Lateést re- .. ports state that he is still alive. “Wé péople who have lived in the stricken district feel the sorrow of the dishstérs as keenly as we did that of the Titanic's sinking two years 4go,” said Mr. Gooby to a Herald man last night. “There are many ~ . Mourners in Newfoundland and they have my sincere sympathy in their gréat bereavement.” TALK ON WATERWAYS. Local Business Men Receive Invita- tions to Go to Bridgeport.
