For more than half a century our Company has catered for the fishermen of Newfoundland in our manufactures. We were never, in our history, better prepared to take the very best care of their wants than at the present moment. The Twines from which we make our Nettings are manufactured by ourselves directly from the raw materials (unlike any other company in America); this gives reliability in lay, finish, and in strength, without which the best results ccnnot be obtained. We beg to assure our Newfoundland patrons of our appreciation of their con- tinued favors, and our constant aim and effort is, and shall be, to merit a continuance of their patronage. iVe guarantee the best work at the lowest market rates.

JOHN'S, NEWFOUNDLAND July 8, 1892 BOSTON 1S92 Press of T{nckwell and Churchill BOSTON -^iSN SALUTATORY. I THE terrible conflagration at St. John's, Newfoundland, whereby from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000 of property was viped out of exist- ence by the fire fiend in a few hours and 10,000 people left home- less has shocked and pained the ■^•-ilized world. Here was a city prosperous, intelligent, and powej.iul, almost . obliterated in a few hours. Boston forwarded, in money nd goods, nearly $i''),oco; all these gifts coming in with sympathy and heartiness that made them d'^'bly acceptable. Of this effort of relief, and of the calamity which called it forth, the following pages are published as a memorial reco* J. To all who contributed to this worthy cause the Executive Com- mittee, on behalf of the fire sufferers, return their most grateful thanks. St. John's has from the inception of her history enjoyed a world-wide reputation for the generosity of its people — an appeal made 10 them for the relief of others had never once been unheeded. So, in turn, while the fire was smouldering in the ruins of the fairest portion of their city, relief came pouring in from the outside world through every available channel. The history of the fire contained in this volume is the work of the Rev. Moses Harvrv, well known to all lovers of the Island, author of a history of Newfoundland and a writer of wide repute on natural history and other subjects. He had the mournful privilege of seeing the beginning, the terrifying growth, and the tardy arrest of the con- flagration. His account of it gives a literary and historic value to this Souvenir; while the contribution of Mr. Henry O'Meara, our young Boston poet, himself a native of the city of St. John's, still adds to its value. In addition to this our generous friends will find herein an account of our btewardship, with credit given to every contributor whose name could be ascertained. THE EXECJTIVE COiMMHTEE.

The committees went to »7ork with a determination to realize a handsome sum for the sufferers, and they succeeded admirably, having collected in money and clothing [new clothing alone entering into this estimate] the sum of $15,896.80, On Saturday afternoon, Aug. 6, the schooner "Carlla" sailed for St. John's, chartered by the Executive Commitiee, and having on board a miscellaneous cargo of provisions and merchandise valued at $8,000. On October 18 the schooner "Alta" was desjiatched. By her the Committee sent 625 barrels of flour and other bieadstuffs. It should be said here that the $3,460 collected by Messrs. Stratton, Little, & Co. and Edward T. Russell was sent by them to St. John's in cr.sh. (5) i.^ AN APPEAL.^ I ^HE friends of Newfoundland appeal to the people of Boston ^ in behalf of the chief city of that countiy, suffering now what xnay be a mortal calamity. Boston's aid has always been freely given to her suffering neighbors. ,.,,-. .. St Tohn's is a city of something over thirty thousand mhabitants, largely engaged in the fisheries. Shops ot merchant, and artisans are m ashes so that work on shore is gone. At this season the fishermen a e off along the coast, down to Labrador, or out on the banks workmg hlrd that they may be able to lay by something for the hard wmter. They hive left at home their wives and children and the help ess old. They will get news of the fire from passing vessels, and whether t^ey hasten heme or not, -vhat hope have they? These sad and scanty details help out the meaning of Sunday morning's news that fifteen thousand people are homeless, and twenty million dollars' vvv^rA of property destroyed. What can Boston do? Send food. St. John's .s nearer than Russia. St. John's is your neighbor. Her sons are your fellow-citizens. Her working people are out of work, homeless, and starving. She needs 'nd asks your help, and Boston is old at the business o chanty. Aid in any shape will be acceptable. We are prepared to take care of any contributions given in money, clothing, or the necessaries of life. All acsistance will be thankfully received at the headquarters of the Relief Committee, 143 Harrison avenue, where the Secretary will be in daily attendance from 8 A.M. to 8 P.M.

SOME four months ago the Eastern Division of the town of St. John's was suddenly reduced to ashes, and to-day nothing remains to mark the sites where the homes of ten thousand people stood and the monuments of the piety and benevolence of its citizens were erected than a wilderness of chimneys and a heap of unsightly ruins. The actual horror of the night of the 8th of July is past to the people of St. John's. But they have yet to face an actuality which is sufficiently serious to contemplate. Relieved from the imminent dread of imme- diate destruction, it becomes their duty now to relieve disaster, and, if possible, to turn ev^ their troubles to good account. They have lost a city ; let the world see if they cannot erect a better one on its site. The opportunity is clearly afforded them, for the fire has swept all obstacles from their path. The only question is, then, whether or not they have the means. This question, we think, may te answered affirmatively. It is worth some trouble to revive St. John's. Situated on the side of a hill that slopes steeply and evenly enough to make its drainage a simple matter, it is yet not too steep for traffic, provided the streets are carried along the proper graac. At the base of the town lies a harbor that for its size approaches as nearly as possible to perfection. One source of trouble only stands in the way. The absentee landlord is at this moment as much an impedimei t to municipal refcim as he has hitherto been to com- mercial enterprise. The time is now come to deal with him as they would deal with any other obstacle in the way of their progress. Is it not pos- sible to devise a scheme for removing him, — first however, compensating him for the losses that may be inflicted. That co.apensation should be reasonable, but it certainly should not err on the side of extravagance. By removing the absent ^e the town becomes the citizens own ; and then let them make the best iney can of their newly acquired freehold. (33) BUILDINGS DESTROYED.

JOHN'S. ■^HIS is a description of the city as it was previous to the great fire : ^ St. John's is the capital and commercial metropolis of Newfoundland. The population in 1884 was 28,610. [It is safe to say that at the time of the great fire it was 30,000.] The site of the city ascends gradually from tiie harbor, the highest point being two hundred m 1 twenty-five feet above the sea. It is built on the north side of the harl . The principal street is Water Street, running parallel to the north side of the harbor, somewhat more than a mile and a half In length, containing well-constructe -\ houses and large and substantial stores ; excellent wharves jut into the water, and vessels of large tonnage can at all times safely moor at them. The houses and stores of Water Street are built of brick or stone, a law to that effect having been passed after the disastrous fire of 1846, by which die greater part of the city was destroyed. The houses in the other streets, for the most part, are built of wood. The Roman Catholic Cathedral stands on the highest point of the declivity which forms the site of the city, two hundred and twenty-five feet above sea level. Opposite the city, at the south side of the harbor, a lofty ridge of precipitous hills, seven hundred feet high, rises abruptly from the water's edge, and stretches for some miles into the interior. A small space at the base of these hills has been made available for building, and here the merchants have erected warehouses and large vats for the manufacture and storing of oil. The city is v/ell supplied with water from a lake called Twenty-Mile (36) St. Pond distant six miles, and elevated one hundred and /.fty feet above the highest part of St. John's. [It is this fact that gave the inhabitants such confidence in the oft-repeated assertion that their city could never be de- stroyed by fire.] The water-works were constructed at a cost of ;^8o,ooo sterling. There are two organized volunteer fire companies. There are three banks. , , , • There are ten churches in the city. The Roman Catholic Cathedral is an imposing structure. The Church of England Cathedral is also a fine edifice, in fact a gem in Gothic architecture. There are three Wesleyan churches, one Presbyterian church, three Church of England, and three Roman Catholic churches, and one Congregational church. The most important public edifices, in addition to the Cathedrals and churches, are : Government House, the residence of the governor, a plain but substantial and commodious stone building, which cost i;30,ooo sterling when erected in 1822; the House of Assembly, in which the Legislature holds its sittings and where are the government offices ; the Union and Commercial banks ; the Lunatic Asylupi ; the Public Hospital. Market-house, and Court-House ; Roman Catholic college and convents ; Episcopalian, Wesleyan, and General Protestant academies ; Roman Catholic and Episcopalian orphan asylums ; the Athenaeum ; St. Patrick s Hall ; Star of the Sea Hall ; Total Abstinence Hall. Eighteen life, fire, and marine insurance companies have agencies in ^'* "^ The'joint stock companies are : The St. John's Gas Light Com- pany, General Water Company, Floating Dry Dock Company, Colonial Cordage Company. Boot & Shoe Facer Company, St. John's Steam Tug Company.^ has two saw mills, two furniture factories, two machine shops, one gas manufactory, three iron foundries, one distillery two breweries, four bakeries by machinery, one patent slip, one floating dock, one tannery, one boot and shoe factory, two tobacco factories, one soap and candle works, one rope, twine, and net ^acrory. Of the literary institutions, the St. John's Athen^um has a hbrary containing 7,000 volumes, and a reading-room well supplied with British ana American newspapers and periodicals; the Academy has a readmg- room and library, and the City and Metropolitan Clubs have readmg- '""""The newspapers published in St. John's are the '« Daily Evening Tele- (37; gram," " Daily Evening Colonist," and the " Daily Evening Herald ; " the " Advocate," tri-weekly ; the *' Newfoundlander," and the " Times," bi- weekly; the "Patriot," and the "Royal Gazette," weekly. Of these newspapers, the " Royal Gazette " is the oldest, having been established' in t8o6. The large mercantile establishments issue supplies on a large scale for the prosecution of the seal and cod fisheries and collect and export fish and oil. The codfish are chiefly sent to Great Britian, Spain, Portugal, Italy, the West Indies, and Brazil. The seal oil and the seal skins are mainly exported to Britian. The great bulk of the imports of the colony arrives at the port of St. John's. In addition to the large mercantile establishments there are a large number of handsome retail shops. The average number of vessels entering the port annually is 1,500, having a burden of 270,000 tons. The number of sailing-vessels clearing from port for the seal fisheries each year was once very great, but of late years these have been largely superseded by steamers. Eighteen power- ful steamers now leave St. John's each year for the seal fishery March 10, or soon after. (38) 1 OU£ H FISHKRIKS.
