Traill Hall Captain Caffin's narrative Soup-kitchens Officials concealing the state of the people Provision for burying the dead The boat's crew at a funeral. State of Dingle. Father Mathew's evidence.
Charles C. Caffin's "Child's Guide to Pictures," "American Masters of Painting," "American Masters of Sculpture," and "How to Study Pictures"; Mr. John C. VanDyke's "How to Judge of a Picture," and "The Meaning of Pictures," and Mr. John LaFarge's "Great Masters." In the study of art, as of literature, you will soon find that America's place is as yet comparatively unimportant.
XII, there is a similar picture of conditions in the North. McMaster's last volume describes the life of the people for this period. On American sculpture Lorado Taft's American Sculpture , and Charles H. Caffin's American Masters of Sculpture , are useful and discriminating. Caffin has also written The Story of American Painting , which is perhaps the best short account of the subject.
'Aren't they amusing, the dears? Watch them eat. Albine looked on with a grave expression. 'Now, now, be good, resumed Desiree; 'you shall all have some, but you must wait your turns. Now, big Lisa, you first. Eh! how fond you are of plantain, aren't you? Big Lisa was the cow. She slowly munched a handful of the juicy leaves which had grown beside Abbe Caffin's tomb.
Captain Caffin's letter was written to a friend and marked "private;" but having got into the newspapers, it must, of course, be taken notice of by the Government. Mr. Trevelyan lost no time, but at once wrote, enclosing it to Sir John Burgoyne. And indeed, it must be said, well meant and practical they were.

Do you wish me to serve your mass, your reverence? The young priest eyed her sternly. 'Well, it isn't a sin, she continued, with her genial smile. 'I did serve a mass once, in Monsieur Caffin's time.
On the 29th of January, a fortnight before the publication of Captain Caffin's letter, Mr. Bishop writes to Mr. Trevelyan: "The floating depôt for Skull arrived yesterday, and has commenced issues; this removes all anxiety for that quarter." On the day before Captain Caffin's letter was written, Mr.
On reading Captain Caffin's letter, one would suppose, that destitution could not reach a higher point than the one at which he saw it. That letter fixed the attention of the Government upon Skull, and yet, strange result, after a month of such attention, the Famine is intensified there, instead of being alleviated. Mr. Commissary Bishop had charge of the most famine-visited portion of the Co.
'Oh! what lovely plantains! she muttered, stooping before Abbe Caffin's tombstone, and delighted with the discovery she had made. There were, indeed, some magnificent plantains spreading out their broad leaves beside the stone. Desiree had just finished filling her apron with them when she fancied she heard a strange noise behind her.
He seems to have been an active, intelligent officer, and a kind-hearted man; yet his communications, somehow, must have misled the Government, for Mr. Trevelyan starts at Captain Caffin's letter, as if suddenly awakened from a dream. Its contents appeared to be quite new, and almost incredible to him. No wonder, perhaps.
