Cardinals

New York. Pilot William F. Mc-Laughlin climbed up the side of the Leviathan, presented to Patrick Cardinal Hayes, a memorial from the 120 Sandy Hook pilots of the Port of New York: "Though our ranks are predominantly non-Catholic, nevertheless we are conscious of the exalted influence of your personality and position, not only as the superior of nearly 2,000,000 of souls in your Metropolitan See, but as well on society in general. . . . With the voices of our entire membership, strengthened by the breezes of the ocean, we welcome you to our shore. . . ."

The Cardinal came up the bay in the steamer Michigonne. The laymen in his escort were led by James Butler famed racehorse man. Most noted clerics were Michael J. Curley, young Archbishop of Baltimore, Austin Dowling, venerable Archbishop 'of St. Paul, John W. Shaw, Archbishop of New Orleans.
