510 NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1914 BOTTLE COMES ASHORE | FROM OLD WRECK Faded Picc; of Paper Inside Tels | of Yoiturno Disaster. i New Haven, May 8. The ways of the sea are passing strange. Not the least strange indeed is the whim of the waves by which a quart whiskey flask from off the ill-fated steamship Volturno that burned and sank in mid- cean back in_the spring or 1913 was d ashore yesterday at West Ha- wven, bearing a note that in a few words told graphically. of one of the tragedies that the sinking of the liner was the cause of. The bottle was discovered tossing slong the shore yesterday afternoon, one of the workmen of Stephen "homas, a boat builder, who lives at 433 Third avenue. West Haven. He succeeded in getting the bottle in and found that there was a piece of paper ! marks of having enclosed. Being unable to get it out in any other way he smashed the bot- tle and extracted therefrom a folded plece of lined brown paper lookin something like the paper used in school pads and on it was scribbled in a hand something like a young school child’s this message: Note for Mother. “If you find this note give it to Mrs. Jones, 654 broadway, New York. “Dear Mother, we are sinking in the ship volturno 1913. Mate Steven Jones.” The paper was old and faded with been folded for was perfectly legi- ble of course as the water had not been able to get at it. The first impulse of the man was to throw the bottle away again until he noticed the piece of paper in the bottle when he smashed the glass up- on a piece of rock which was nearby. He then turned the note over to Mr. Thomas. Freak Not Impossible. quite a while. It It is the theory that if the note is genuine as it is believed it is and was written just before the death hour by one of the crew of the steam- ship which' took fire in mid-ocean and was lost with considerable loss of life among the crew after the pas- UNION TEA CO., 317 MAIN SATURDAY SPECIALS | STREET EXTRA GOOD VALUES Sugar Delivered With Other Goods. 25 Ibs.

While it seems scarcely prob- able that the bottle should have taken such a course a freak of the sea like that is by no means impog-. sible for currents of the water have been known to carry articles thrown | into it much more strangely and to far more distant regions. There was much interest in the discovery among Mr. Thomas's friends who heard of it last night.

At the extreme rear, to the right, | is found the baptistry, set aside from the auditorium with grill work. The baptismal font is located here. It is made of metal and has a stone finish, the figures being carved in ivory. The confessional boxes .are built out from the rear wall. There are two holy water fountains in the vestibule, They are of Vermont i Safe Weighs 200 Pounds. | Probably the first object of inters ' est to the visitor as he enters the auditorium, is the main altar, enam- eled a pure dull white color. Con- forming with the rest of the furniture in the building, this fixture is of the English Gothic design. Closer scrutiny of the reredos and the baldichino, re- veals the outer door of the tabernacle. Upon opening this, it is seen to con- tain a steel safe for the preservation of the sacrament of the altar and the sacred vessels, The actual weight of this fireproof safe is 200 pounds. ‘'The keys to both doors have heen turned over to Father Brennan, Furniture of ‘Sanctuary.

The floor is covered with 150 yards of rich plush carpet. The walls are of a cream ivory tint. There is a room at either side of the sanctuary, which division s twenty feet deep. On the right is the vestry room and on the left the sac- ristry, in ‘which are kept the priestly robes. A vestment case and ward- robe constitute the chief furniture of this room. The spacious choir loft is at the rear of the church, and in it is con- tained a reed organ. With the ex- ception of the pipe organs it is the largest organ manufactured. All the hardware in the entire buflding is of a unit design, old Eng- lish in a dull finish. Beautiful Sanctuary Window. A large stained window in the sanc- tuary, adds greatly to the beauty of | the building’s interior. Its subject is “‘Easter Morning.” The window is composed of three panels. The one in the center, which is in mem- | ory of Rev. Luke Daly, the first pas-| tor of St. Paul's church, was donated by Father Daly’s nephew, Rev. Luke Fitzsimmons of Waterbury; the one at the right, dedicated to the late Rev. James P.
