store is a little church with a large cross.  We learned that it is a
Catholic church and that Mr. B. had had it built.  The landing is very

started on our return and reached the station at 10 minutes past 5.

We asked again about the old stone house and then started in search of it.

The windows are small and so are the panes of glass.  As we entered
