He felt it was inconsistent with the religious life, but then, in his own words:\nWhen in the winter of 1875 the Deutschland was wrecked in the mouth of the Thames and five Franciscan nuns, exiles from Germany\u2026aboard of her were drowned, I read the account in the Times.<br><br>\nThe Times 11th December 1875:\n&#8220;At 2 a.m. Captain Brickenstein, knowing with rising tide the ship would be waterlogged, ordered all the passengers to come on deck. Most of them obeyed the summons at once.\n&#8220;Others lingered below until it was too late. Some of them ill, weak despairing of life even on deck resolved to stay in their cabins and meet death with out any further struggle to evade it .<br><br>\n&#8220;After 3 a.m. on Tuesday morning a scene of horror was witnessed. Some passengers clustered for safety within or upon the wheel house and on top of other slight structures on deck.\n&#8220;Most of the crew and many of the emigrants went into the rigging where they were safe enough as long as they could maintain their hold.<br><br>\n&#8220;But the intense cold and long exposure told a tale.\n&#8220;The purser of the ship though a strong man relaxed his grasp and fell into the sea. Women and children and men were one by one swept away from their shelters on the deck.\n&#8220;Five German nuns whose bodies are now in the dead house here, clasped hands and were drowned together, the chief sister a gaunt woman six feet high calling out loudly and often :<br><br>\n\u201c&#8217;Oh Christ! come quickly!&#8217; until the end came.&#8221;<br><br>\nI was affected by the account and happening to say so to my rector he said that he wished someone would write a poem on the subject. \u00a0On this hint I set to work and, though my hand was out at first, produced one.\nI had long had
