  • f these settlers (the most industrious) refused

assistance after the first year. ... The first two years the settlers pay no rent, after which a money rent of 12s 6d for each lot of 140 to 200 acres.”

Storm

  • rms

“Waves of at least 20 feet high came one after the other to hit houses on the riverside on the north side of the coastal road and after breaking, continue to us on the south side... M. Canuel and his wife … lived on the wrong side of the road… [and] certain that their home would be demolished, and their property washed away, transported their furniture and other goods to us. … The movement of the waves seriously threatened the foundation of the church; one would have thought that the supporting rocks themselves would end up giving way and that the house of the Lord would

  • collapse. The priest, M. Damase Morissette, as

despairing as his parishioners, prayed for a miracle to happen.”
