 | SS Schiller.
On the evening of 7 May 1875 the steam ship SS Schiller was grounded on a reef off the coast of the Isles of Scilly. The Captain attempted to free the ship but the situation was only made worse. The seas were becoming progressively worse as was the situation aboard the Schiller as it was found that only two of her lifeboats were seaworthy. 26 men and 1 woman eventually made it to shore in the lifeboats. Meanwhile all the women and children were moved to the pilot house to protect them from the storm. The remaining crew and male passengers were unable to do anything when a huge wave crashed into the deck house ripping off the roof and sweeping all the occupants into the sea. The remaining people spent the night on the Schiller. Some were swept over board. Some died of hypothermia. As day broke and rescuers arrived only 10 people were left alive. A total of 335 died. Among them were Rebecca Marquand (Crosby) Caverly and her daughter Amy. Their bodies were never recovered.

 | St Leo The Great Shrine At Holy Sepulchre In Alsip, Illinois
St. Leo the Great was born in Tuscany. As deacon, he was dispatched to Gaul as a mediator by Emperor Valentinian III. He reigned as Pope between 440 and 461. He persuaded Emperor Valentinian to recognize the primacy of the Bishop of Rome in an edict in 445. The doctrine of the Incarnation was formed by him in a letter to the Patriarch of Constantinople, who had already condemned Eutyches. At the Council of Chalcedon this same letter was confirmed as the expression of Catholic Faith concerning the Person of Christ.
All secular historical treatises eulogize his efforts during the upheaval of the fifth century barbarian invasion. His encounter with Attila the Hun, at the very gates of Rome persuading him to turn back, remains a historical memorial to his great eloquence. When the Vandals under Genseric occupied the city of Rome, he persuaded the invaders to desist from pillaging the city and harming its inhabitants. He died in 461, leaving many letters and writings of great historical value. His feast day is November 10th

 | St. Frances Xavier Cabrini Shrine, Section 9, Ascension Cemetery
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini was born as Maria Francesca Cabrini on July 15, 1850 in Sant' Angelo Lodigiano, Lombardy, Italy. In 1877, she became Mother Cabrini after she finally made her vows and took the religious habit, also adding Xavier to her name in honor of St. Francis Xavier. On March 31, 1889, Frances arrived in New York City along with six other sisters ready to begin her new journey. Frances has two miracles attributed to her. She restored sight to a child who was believed to have been blinded by excess silver nitrate, and she healed a terminally ill member of her congregation.
St. Frances Xavier Cabrini was beatified on November 13, 1938, by Pope Pius XI and canonized by Pope Pius XII on July 7, 1946, making her the first United States citizen to be canonized. Her feast day is celebrated on November 13 and she is the patron saint of immigrants.

 | St. Paul's Episcopal Church Tombstone, Arizona
In 1882 Peabody served a six month ministry in Tombstone, Arizona. At the time it was the epitome of the "wild west. He became freinds with Wyatt Earp and his brothers.
On one Sunday he preached that there was an 11th Commandment: "Thou Shalt Not Covet Thy Neighbor’s Cattle”. This didn't sit well with Billy Claiborne who threatened to make the preacher “dance” to the music of his six gun. Peabody sent word that he was looking forward to dancing with Billy. Billy failed to follow through on the threat.
He began preaching at the Miners Exchange Building because in 1881 the town had a fire that destroyed the church. He raised the money to build a new church. He was known to pass the hat in the saloons and the gambling houses. when questioned about that he said; “The Lord’s pot must be kept boiling, even if it takes the Devil’s kindling wood.”
He purchased a lot for five dollars and spent five thousand building the new church. It still stands today and has been added to the National Register of Historic Places.

 | Stand by for a Hard Impact
The Apollo 15 crew had no idea any thing was wrong until the recovery ship USS Okinawa transmitted; "Apollo 15, this is Okinawa. You have a streamed chute. Stand by for a hard impact."
It would later be determined that the heat from excess fuel burning from the Command Module Reaction Control System likely caused the lines to break. Fortunately the system was over designed. A normal reentry should have slowed the capsule to 22 miles per hour. With two chutes the speed should have been 25 miles per hour. None of the astronauts were injured.
