I love Xie Lian at one point had all four calamities inside his tiny hut. Like- imagine if the Heavens Eye guy showed up then. Like- he would have passed out.

On this day:

FAIRIE QUEEN FERRY FATALITIES FORETOLD

On October 7, 1853, in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, the church bell at the Kirk of St. James began to ring out the warning of a vessel in distress, while the Fairie Queen, a steam-powered sidewheeler, prepared to depart for Pictou, Nova Scotia. The boat regularly carried government mail and passengers between the island and mainland and was tied to the wharf as the bells peeled out urgently.

A citizen of Charlottetown, by the name of Captain Cross, was horse riding when the bell began to toll. At the waterfront he saw the Fairie Queen safely docked and so raced toward the church. Nearing it, Cross saw three women in white waiting in its doorway. Another woman was inside ringing the bell. He watched the ladies enter the sanctuary, but when he went to open the door, it was locked. The church minister and sexton joined him, and, upon entering the church, they saw the women climbing the stairs to the belfry. The men were right behind the women, but when they entered the belfry, it was empty and the bells rope tightly tied. The bell had rung eight times in total.

The Fairie Queen set sail for Pictou, on smooth waters, never to arrive. Late that afternoon the ship's steering rope broke, and while it was being repaired the boiler's fire went out. The vessel began taking on water that could not be bailed as the pump was connected to the steam engine, which had no power. Winds and the waves grew too strong for the Fairie Queen; she capsized. The crew grabbed the lifeboats, leaving passengers tossed about in the turbulent waters, clinging to the wreckage. Eight people died. Four of them were women who belonged to the congregation at Kirk of St. James.
