only just surveyed and the men beginning work upon it. Thanks to the help rendered by these men. the vehicle was lifted over the rugged track and con—

veyed to its destination. Mr. MacDonalds gratitude to them was expressed by

a donation of two gallons of Jamaica rum; thus Was the first carriage brought

to Georgetown.

There is an interesting legend told in King's County. which explains how the early priests of Georgetown came to hold stations in the house of one Hugh

McPhee of Burnt Point. who is registered as a Presbyterian emigrant from Skye. Many years ago this Hugh HcPhee being detained on business in the settlement

of old Launching. was obliged to pass the night there, at the residence of Mr. Angus Walker. Being a man of respectable appearance, to him was allotted the bedroom usually occupied by Father McEachern. when he held a station at Launching. Scarcely had Mr. McPhee closed his eyes. when he heard a voice saying: "Eirich a leabedh an ChriSOSduidh the anmuclite“. rise from the bed of the blbssed Christain.

He was much startled, but, being very tired, tried to imagine himself dreaming. Useless. the second timé and even the third time, the invisible voice hissedthe same words into his ear.- He arose, dressed and went home, as soon as the day dauned we drove to St. Andrews made his profession of faith and was received into the church by Bish0p McEachern. His brother Angus became a Catholic shortly after. From that time Bishop McEachern. Father McDonald, and Father Francis McDonald held stations at Hugh McPhee‘s house and it became the habitual

stapping blace of the priests, long before there was a presbytery in Georgetown.

In common with the other Catholic missions of Prince Edward Island, St. James was first under the care of the Rev. Arneas McEachern, then it was attended by Rev. John MacDonald of Glenaladale and afterwards by Rev. Francis McDonald

who served it for forty years. In 1873 he was replaced in Georgetown by Rev.

Charles McDonald, who in 188k was succeeded by the very Rev. D. McDonald. On
