The Huron Expositor, 1891-11-13, Page 7NOVEMBER 101 1891 THE HURON EXPOSIT OR . ea= eseeteretetesee.--. Early Days on the Gatineaii. Inc L. L. ne canape. l Forty or fifty years ago the Gatineau dis- trict; in the Province of Quebec, was a very wild stretch of country, and settlements were few and far between. Supplies were carried up to the more remote sealers in canoes, and as there were many cascades in the river, the voyageur was frequently obliged to disembark, and carry hie , canoe and its freight averland, until he reaehed a point where he could trust himself ' to the stream again. It ia difficult to picture this mode of travel, in these days of rapid transit. L There existed, at that time, in that part of Canada, a body of men whom the public called "Shiners." This organization was principally recruited from the ranks of the Irish emigrants who were then coming in great numbers to Canada, and who were not content to let the feuds and faction disturbances of the old country - reit in peace, but tought to perpetuate them, in a measure, in tide country. s In the old land the Orange and the Green hail been at war for tong, bitter years, and in the new land neither side seemed to wish to bury the hatchet. The "Shiners" were the Irish Roman Catholic element. The survivors of those early days can relate many !stirring tales of the small value that was then placed on human lives. . The operations of the "Shiners" 6:tended from Ottannatthen By -town) to ma,i y miles up the Gatineau, and ill -fared the nlucky individual who fell under the ban of ' their displeasure. Early in the " forties " a ScatChman named Ronald Stewart_took up a lar e tract of land on the Gatineau, about one lundred and fifty miles above Hull, opposite Qttawa, and thither he brought his family coniposed of his wife and three children. All his friends condemned Ids act as mad - flees, and told him it was a barbaroue thing to take his delicately -bred wife so fax I away from civilizat;on. No amount of oppoOtion, however, could deter Stewart from the execution of his project. His intentidn as to take up so much land that it might 'after- wards be divided int) homes for his ;child- ren, who uould. in time become, he probably thought, the "Stewarts of Stowartviiled A log house was put up in the wilderness, and there Stewart brought his lie and little ones. ' Trials and hardships not a few were en- countered by the settlers. Their provisions were nearly exhausted daring the first long and severe winter, and in the following rummer- Mrs. Stewart fell ill and nearly died. Then a small grave was dug near the house, and in it was placed their first born boy. - Any other man 'meeting with half the diecouragements Stewart did, would, have abandoioed the plaee, and gone back to civilizetion, but not sa this stern, unyield- ing Scot. When Stewart had been living elp the Gatineau about six years, an incident hap- pened that well-nigh cost him his life. Party feeling was running high between the "Shiners" and their opponents. An elec- tion had been held at Hull, and Stewart, having been down thereat the time, had in- dulged a little more freely than usual in the wine cap, and had afterwards expressed himself in a manner displeasing to the "Shiners." He made the return journey safefy, but a few days afterwards received information that the " Shiners" would pay him a visit ahortly. That meant trouble, but Stewart laughed the threat to scorn. Not -lea his wife, who spent the following days in agony of apprehension. Three days afterwards an old Scotch priest, Father Paisley, and a companion, who were travelling down the -river, called at Stewart's house tir rest. Three of the Stewart children were t' en un - baptised, and, although the famil were Presbyterians, they determined to seize this opportunity of giving their children1Chris- tian baptism. Father Paieley performed the ceremony, and, as it was then late in the day, he wai prevailed upon to remain over night. i About one o'clock the next morning aloud knocking was heard at the door. Stewart, without opening the door, asked "Who is there ?" "We want you to come out," was the reply-, and then he knew that the "Shiners" had come. In a morrient all the househola were aroused. Impatient of de- lay, the people outside were trying to force open the mooat door, and Stewart was stand- ing with his leaded rifle oppesite to ip. Mrs. Stesvart was in a corner on her knees, with the children around her, lifting her hands to heaven in dumb entreaty. The door was giving way; in a moment the would-be murderers would have made their way in, and there would be blood shed; as to the end who could doubt? one who sleeps. A sleeper is hat in which the sleeper sleeps.

Senior Part Suddenly, Father Paisley, with his iurplice on, and an uplifted crucifix- in his hands, steps between Stewart and the twenty masked and armed men who have now broken in the door. Seeing the priest they half retreat, bun mustering courage, they demand Stewart, who is overshedoWed by Father Fidelity's burly form. " Ybu will have to kin me before you get Stewart. In the name of Him whose Image is hn this cross, I command you to leave this house in peace." "We Must have Stewart, he is an Orangemen," they cry. " He is a Christian and an honest than, what you are not, who come inthe night to tear hilin away from his family end shed his blood.

The intruders held a council of w r among themselves, and then the leader stepped forward and said : "We believe y u speak the truth, Father. and we will not harm Stewart.
