More Hebrideans Canada Bound
sYp,L., 1...,-1.1ir,+r •,r...
THE
HE Hebrideans ars a home loving
race of people not much given to
wandering from their native hearths,
but the arrival . at St. John aboard
the Canadian Pacific steamships
Marloch• and Metagama of over six,
hundred sturdy men and women of
the western isles, forced by earn tier
cessity to seek their fortunes in the
land of promise is not without pre-
cedent. In the year 1803 a contin-
gent of 111 was brought from the
Isle of Mull by Lord Selkirk to de-
velop the sheep industry on St. Clair
Fiats, Kent County, If times were
hard when these people left home,
v awing farewell to loved ones on the Metagarna...
fate was not more kind to them after
they had settled here. Forty-five of
their number were carried off by
fever in the first year and the war
of 1812 wiped out the settlement,
homes, stock and crops.
In 1812 Lord Selkirk's agent, Colin
Robinson,
of the Isle of Lewis, per-
suaded a number of his •fellow island-
ers to whom the abolition'01 the Clan
system had brought high rents and
misery, to settle in the Red River
district. This party encountered
the hostilities of the Indians and,
through their industry and progres-
sion, the jealousy of the white trad-
ers. When the settlement was wiped
out on one occasion and many of
them wiped out, the remainder were
forced' to, leave. However, they re-
turned in time to harvest the first
western wheat crop and many attri-
bjnte to this fact that Winnipeg stands
where it does to -day.
Life will not be a bed of roses fps
those who have newly, arrived a
they will have to .work,and hard;
but this they can do, , They aro the
descendants of ,the "lords 91 the
isles" who by strength of arms re-
pulsed the invasions of the Scandi-
navians and Scots. Social and in-
dustrialdevelopment was retarded to
a great extent by the clan system,
but those who have adopted Canada
are well educated and a simple life
of toil in adversity through, genera-
tions bas given them a Splendid
physique and simple dignity. 411 -
though forced by hand times to leave
their homes to make new ones, most
of them are in sufficient funds and
not a'few"families aboard the Mont-
calm were possessed of over£1
,000.
Some,have stopped in Ontario but the
larger proportion of them have gone
to Red Deer, Alberta,, where tbeY
will forma small colony '-
