DEATH OF PERE FROC
FORMER SICCAWEI DIRECTOR, PASSES AWAY
News of the death of Father Louis Froc was received here yesterday, says the N. Daily News of Octo ber 14. As Director of the Siccawei Observatory, Father Froc had laboured for half a century in the cause of safe navigation.
His work known and appreciated internationally and in itself a monument to his name, Father Froc came of a seafaring family his father being a French naval officer. While a youth, he was greatly impressed by the frequent sound of the port gun on the coast of Brittany denoting ships in dia tress His ambition to reduce the dangers of seamen from that time inspired a life devoted to human- ity.

Year after year, especially during the typhoon season, Le Pére Fros, had never once been found wanting.
Father Fre was not a pioneer when he took over the directorship, Ho had for years followed the work of such great pioneers as Lo Lee, Columbel, and Dechevrens. N
After having almost spent his entire life in the service of his fellowmen, he sailed from this port in retirement in August last year.
