the ringing of the bell had not brought him to vespers。 Breviary in lap; and 

hands folded upon it; the Padre sat among his flowers; looking at the sea。 

Out there amid the sapphire…blue; tranquil and white; gleamed the sails of 

the barkentine。  It had   brought him  a   new   message;  not   from  this   world; 

and    Padre    Ignacio     was   slowly    borne    in   from   the   garden;    while    the 

mission…bell tolled for the passing of a human soul。
