him, and instead of putting into practice some of those simple 
rules which, through the agency of the Humane Society, are 
now universally known, his rescuers himied vuth their bm-den 
up Marygate, and going with it up the steps into the chapel, 
laid it dowm before the image of the Blessed Yirgin, hoping, as 
the narrator says, that she would rekindle in the poor creative, 
miiuculously, the all-but extinguished light. It was all in vain. 
He expired at her feet as soon as he was laid down, and was 
commended to the mercy of Bod. The story is a pathetic one. 
The monks of St. Mary’s took up the body and interred 
it intuitu caritatis ! 
The chapel fell at the dissolution of monasteries, and its 
subsequent history is unknown. Some portions of the walls 
may be still seen. It is remarkable that Drake, in his account 
of Marygate, never even alludes to its existence.
