                           6.  Arrival of Mother M. of the Saviour

                  Some days after the close of the annual retreat of the 
             priests F. Superior started for St. Laurent where he was expected 
             by FF. Verite and Reze--the latter being a recent arrival from the 
             Mother House, who was to replace the former and allow him to 
             return to France.  They spent about a week pleasantly together, 
             after which F. Sorin took the road back to Notre Dame du Lac with 
             the new superioress who had been expected for fifteen months--and 
             two other French Sisters.  The journey was fortunate and rapid, 
             although made amidst the dying and the dead whom the cholera was 
             then mowing down in most parts of the United States as well as in 
             Europe.
