"I... I knew it!" he muttered through clenched teeth. 'W-we're done for!" But Father De Montfort, standing in the prow of the lit­tle boat, calmly assured his terrified companions that they were under Our Lady's protection and that everything would turn out well. "Suppose we sing a hymn to our Mother in heaven," he suggested cheerfully. The captain, as terrified as his men, could scarcely believe his ears. "You surely don't want us to sing now, Father!" he burst out. "Why, the enemy will be on us in less than an hour!" Father De Montfort nodded. "What of it? Isn't the Blessed Virgin looking after us? Tell the men to start rowing. We're expected on the island, you know, and it wouldn't do to be late." Will the pirates catch St. Louis and the sailors? This and other exciting events await in this fascinatingly told tale of St. Louis De Montfort and his friends, including his many miracles and how we were taught to become the blessed slaves of Jesus and Mary through our love and devotion. St. Louis De Montfort, pray for us!
