Small wonder, therefore, that the War had become a one-sided affair. On the 20th of May, 1901, I seized an opportunity of attacking General Plumer on his way from Bethel to Standerton.

On December 16th, 1901, the vault was opened by order of the commission entrusted by the Holy See with the conduct of the apostolic investigation into the virtues and miracles in specie of the founder of the Church in Canada.
