The fishing village o f Sandy Bay
reposed in its seclusion, an Eden
made possible by man's faith in man.
Looking down upon the tranquil
scenes of daily life in the peaceful
community was the little Church of
The Rosary, atop a hill, from whence
its cross was a beacon of faith and
hope to guide the fishermen at sea
■
For many years the affairs o f the
village had been settled on the front
porch o f the parish house.
Four
men represented Sandy Bay. Each
forgot self and creed, thinking only
at the welfare o f their beloved home.
One was a kindly priest, one a
rough sea captain, one a Hebrew
merchant and one the grand old man
of the village, the founder o f its
chief support, a prosperous cannery.
On the porch o f the little parish
house there were always four com
fortable chairs. But with the open
ing of our story, one chair was
empty. And it was with this empty
chair that Father Kelly, Captain
M ather and Isaac Abrahamson were
gravely concerned. Ichabod W right,
