And this was all the wedding that Bofin saw that day. But little farther of Maureen Lacey is known to the writer of this history. The wreck of the ship in which Mike had been returning was one of those disasters whose details fill the daily newspapers in winter time. Sewn in the poor fellow's jacket was found a note for a good little sum of money.
