They found that the lands which had been PSCIICRIECI by Governor Smith were all taken tip and they decided to settle on what is now ithc Royalty of Georgetown and lupon land belonging to Lord Sel- ikirk on the Cardigan River. Lord Selkirk gave to each family on his estate, one cow, one axe and a grubbing hoe; and to every two families, he gave a riuern or hand- mill with which to grind their corn. After miiiiy years of successful business life at Panmure Island. ihc venerable Mr. Andrew Mac- Ilnnnld moved across the harbour in where Georgetown now stands; families of different nationalities came to settle at this point. and cvr-rything gave promise of it be- coming a busy town. a . About the year 1837 the old church at Panmure Island was dismantled and the boards and seiintling with the addition of a largo supply of fresh material. were used in the construction of it new church in Georgetown. This edifice was at first forty-six feet long by thirty-three wide. the builder was Mr. Joseph McDonald. gweasell. In the year 1344 a ilcgaey of five hundred pounds was left to the church by a Mr. James McDonald, M.P., and it was then enlarged and improved. The build- ing was seventy-six feet in length by thirty-three, in width. The altar was a fine one and very rlchlv Roo NOIIII OXVOIQ my and pouvrlul . . .rruises economically at 50 min per hour.

While in the city he purchased a ltorsc and gig and started for home. He got on pretty well, until within R few miles of Georgetown when he came upon a cleared district where the road was only just sur- veyed and the men beginning work upon it. Thanks in the help ren- dered by these men, the vehicle was lifted over the rugged track and conveyed to its destination. Mr. MacDonald's gratitude to them was expressed by a donation of two gallons of Jamaica rum; thus was the first carriage brought to Georgetown. 0 0 There is an interesting legend told in King's County. which ex- plains how the early priests of Georgetown came to hold stations in the house of one Hugh McPhee of Burnt Point. who is register- ed as is Presbyterian emigrant from Skye. Many years also this Hugh McPhee being detained on business in the settlement of old Launching, was obliged in pass the night there. at the. residence of Mr. Angus Walker. vBcing A man of respectable appearance. to him was allotted the bedroom usually occupied by Father McEneliei'n. when he held (I station at Launch- ing. Searccly had Mr. MePliec closed his eyes, when he board a voice saying: "Eirich o'n Icah- aldh. a Chrlosdaldh beannachd. tha e immoch." "Rise from the bed of the blessed Christian!" He was much startled, but, be- ing very tired. tried to imagine himself dreaming. However, the second time and even the third time. the invisible voice hissed the same words into his car. He arose. dressed and went home. As soon as the day dawned he drove to St. Andrews. made his protes- alon of faith and was received into the church by Bishop Mc- Eschern. His brother Angus be- came A Catholic shortly after. From that time. Bishop McEneh- ern. Father McDonald. and Father Francis McDonald held stations at Hugh Me-Phee's house and it be- came the habitual stopping plate of the priests long before there was a presbylery in Georgetown. 0 C 0 In common with the other Cath- olic mlsslons of Prince Edward Island. St. James was first under the care of the Rev. Arneas Mc- Eachern: then it. was attended by Rev. John MacDonald of Glennla- dale. and nfterwards, by Rev. Francis McDonald who served it for forty years. In 1873 he was replaced in Georgetown by Rev. Charles McDonald. who in 1884 was succeeded by the very Rev. Daniel McDonald. On the 3rd January I886,'Rev. Daniel McDon- ald breathed his last in the pres- hytery of St. James and was suc- ceeded ln the care of the mis- sion by the Rev. William Grant. D.D., the present pastor. There are several prosperous es- tablishments doing business in Georgetown, many of them in thc hands of descendants of the early Catholic settlers. On Panmure Island. around which so many historic memories linger. ll lobster canning establish- ment has usurped the place of tho seigneurial chapel of the first owner. and in all directions mod- ern industries are cautiously throwing out feelers that will in time. have a firm hold and ef- fectually erasr: the remains of .1 picturesque past. With its beauty of location and easy access to magnificent fishing Hounds, Georgetown might. if properly advertised, become I fit- vorite waterlng place. It may be that this will be brought about. and the rifle of the American tourist will ring over the coun- try where de Roma held sway in the. old regime. First: Catholic Settlers of st.
