Washington crossed the Delaware and the U. S. C. boys were glad that they had built the Jason at the Glen Point orphanage and did not have to study out the entire construction anew. Washington and Lafayette and Steuben shook hands in token of eternal friendship. Washington reviewed his troops under an elm at Cambridge. Washington suffered with his ragged men at Valley Forge.
To help out, we have sent north to this station three of our boys from the orphanage, as they grew old enough to go out into the world for themselves. One disaster, in the form of a shipwreck, overtook the fine fellow in charge of this most northerly venture.

There she established a School of Industry for Girls, and her husband seconded her in all her good works. Mr. Chamier, the secretary, took a great interest in her school; Sir Frederick Adams subscribed 20 pounds, and officers and gentlemen in Madras contributed in five days 2,000 rupees. The school became an extensive orphanage.

"And if you are so lonely, why not take some girl from an orphanage for a companion? It would be good for the child and good for you too." M'Crawney replied with a touch of asperity. Her husband's love of books and willingness to spend money upon them was always a sore point with her, only Katherine did not know that, "And I wouldn't have a strange girl about the house, not whatever.
The surrounding garden is kept up in as good style under the care of the sisters as it was in early days by the padres. The orphanage was erected in 1884 by Archbishop Alemany as a seminary for young men who wished to study for the priesthood, but it was never very successful in this work. For awhile it remained empty, then was offered to the Dominican Sisters as a boarding-school.
