Prince Edward Island. it is about the ion of the schooner Grace M. Parker, with all hands, one cold stormy winter's night on the coast of St. Pierre, Miquelon. in 1895. Capt.

Macleod, at one time president of the Bank i of Nova Scotia. and a cousin of the present president.

Myi-ick and Company. of Alzberton and Tignlsh. and was
