The event itself is one that will be given in history as one of the grandest achievements of a disastrous and bloody warfare — a warfare neither sought for nor declared by the British nation. To relieve Ladysmith from its dire distress and numberless fast threatening calamities — from its thraldom by the Boers and its horrors of sickness, death and imprisonment — has called into requisition the united efforts of England's greatest and ablest Generals ; and those efforts have been followed by anxious hearts in countless numbers all o^'er the Great Empire, Yet, in no part of it has there been more anxiety felt ; more fervent prayers offered for the blessing of God on the British arms, or more trust and confidence placed in the ultimate success of Lord Roberts' Field Marshalship — in the onward progress of Lord Kitchener, or in the stubborn perseverance of Sir Redvers Buller, than there has been in this, one of the smallest of old England's Colonies ; and our demonstrations of joy when the news of the relief of Ladysmith was announced were such as to make the day a historical one in 'he records of our Island. That our people are loyal to the core to their Queen and Empire, was previously shown by the sending of a contingent to South Africa ; for when a country gives of her sons to uphold the cause of righ<^ and justice she gives of her best. True, the contingent wa l/ut small ; yet it would have been a regiment in itself had all who volunteered to go been accepted ; and the regret of those who were compelled to stay behind was deep and sincere. The Mother Land — always dear to us — has become dearer still, united closer as we are to it with the bond of loved ones PREFACE figlitiiiK for— aye, and dying for, the country that represents in the truest and best sense of the word— Freedom and Justice. The news of the Relief of Ladysmith came when our oapital city was mourning the loss of two of her brave lads, Roland D. Taylor and Alfred Riggs, and we realzed more fully perhaps, on that account, at what a cost the liberty of Ladysmith's imprisoned garrison had been bought. Yet our boys' noble death but added further glory to the day ; for were they not brave and loyal and true ? Had they not died for their Queen and Country, and will not their names go down to the generations to come as heroes indeed ? Therefore, to commemorate a day that will be a marked one in the annals of the War in ^outh Africa, and to record how loyally and how grandly the people of Prince Edward Island rejoiced in another British triumph, thi.** little book is put in the hands of the public ; with the hope that the success now attending the British arms may be speedily followed by the close of the war, and the ultimate floating of the Union Jack over a free Africa ; an Africa governed by the laws of the grandest, God-given country the world has ever known, and which stands matchless among the nations. " PHILO." RELIEF OF LADYSMITM The moriiliiK of the first day of March dawned brij^ht and sntilit ; (juiet enough as far as business was concerned : but that (juiet soon ^^ave phice to the most enthusiastic demonstrations of patriotism tliat have e\-er been witnessed in Cliarlottetown. A very few minutes after tlie Telej^M'aph Office was opened, the Patriot, Examiucr and Ciuardian bulletin boards posted the followinjj: telegram from Lloyd's to Mr. K. W. Myndman : " LADYvSMITII RIvLII'A'IvI). -in-NDoNAU).'" This telegram and the ones following w-re received over the wires by Messrs. T. C. James and A. Iv Morrison, delivered respectively to Mr. Hyndman. the Patriot, lixawincr and Guardian by Mr. Ross MclCwen. the later ones reading as follows : " Dundonald with the Natal Carbiniers and a composite regiment entered Ladysmith last night. The country between me and Ladysmith is reported clear of the enemy. I am mo\- ng to Nelthorpe. — BrijjvR." Then telegrams from our merchants in Kngland followed. London, March i.— Stanley.

RELIEF OP^ LADVSMITH The joyful news spread fast ; and a quarter of an hour after it was given to tlie public the shrieking of the factory whistles, the ringing of the church bells, the exploding of torpedoes, and the booming of cannon proclaimed uinnistakably that rejoicing over the long looked for relief of Ladysmith was the order of the day. Almost before it could be fully realized that the good news had come ; flags were flying in all directions, daylight fire- works were being set off, and every one, from the oldest veteran to the youngest child who could carry a flag, considered they had an individual part to perform in celebrating the day, and went at it with a will. The first whistle to start blowing was that of Messrs. Murle}- & Garnhum, Brent L. Garnhum setting it in operation, while Mr. Ceph. B. Murley ran up the Union Jack over the building at the same time. T. A. McLean's Foundry horn was blown by M. J. Johnson ; Bruce Stewart's by S. Crockett ; Mark Wright & Go's, by G. Dudley Wright, while the Railway horn was started by Mike McCarey. The fire bell on the City Hall boomed out lustly ; set in motion first by Frank Creighan. Mat. McCourt, Dan. Ferguson, Andrew Hennessey ; those four giving place to Art. Vatcher, Fred Trainor, Geo. Hennessey, Matt. Murphy. St. Peter's Ca- thedral bell chimed in next, and never since the sexton, H. Hine, retired from active service himself, has he performed a task more to his liking than the ringing of the church bell in honor of the relief of Ladysmith ; the fact that his son, Charles Hine, is .serving in South Africa, lending additional ze.st to the willing arms that rang St. Peter's bell. The .sexton of the Kirk was not on the premises at the time ; but Mrs. Fullerton, nothing daunted, and with an enthusiam increased by the knowledge that her husband, the Rev. T. F. Fullerton, is Presbyterian chaplain for the contingent now in active service in Africa ; took the task in hand her.self, and the Kirk bell joined in the chorus, its tones diminished not an atom, because they rang out in response to the motive power given by the hands of a loyal woman.

F. t now in self, and id not an ,'e power The sound of the whistles and bells had scarcely died away, before the booming of the guns at Fort Edward was heard, and the time that the salute was given was very little over an hour after the news was received. A moment's reflection on how far out Fort Edward is, and on what time it would take to summon together a firing party from all parts of the city, will prove for itself how promptly and gladly our officers and men were on their way to make the guns proclaim their own and the people's loy- alty and joy at the triumph of the British arms. And it was no ordinary salute thai was fired that day; but a Royal Salute of 21 guns. The firing party was made up of a detachment from the 4th Reg. Canadian Artillery, under Major H. McLean Davison and Captain Arthur A. Bartlett, and was composed of: Sergt.- Majors J. T. Heart/., C. B. Murley, John S. McLeod, Jas. Campbell, J. B. L. Garnhum, Corporal Prowse, Bombardier George Arbuckle, Gunners James Dover. Chas. Livingstone, H. Murley, Clarence McDonald, John McQuilan, Peter McGonnell, Alf. Pickard. Mingled with the noise o^ the salute from Fort Edward came the sound of guns from the R...iway, and it was soon ascertained that on the hoisting of the Union Jack on the Round House by Joseph Fraught ; Roland Meikle, determined not to be outdone, had put into position the Railway cannon, "Long Tom," and, assisted by Frank L. Muncey, H. Vickerson and Messrs. Thompson and Black, the Engineers who are here surveying for the Hillsborough Bridge, added another quota to the general commotion. A special engine was run over the tracks in the Railway yard, John McLean and A. McDonald having charge of it, and the exploding of torpedoes in almost countless numbers marked its course. Firearms were used ; Howard Dingwell leading off, while Otto Baird sent out some of his men with more engines to help things along. Messrs. Hodgson, Coffin and W. Poole assisted in making matters move without a hitch, and from Round House and yard, from Station and offices the sounds of jubilation arose, mingled with cheers for the Queen, the Empire and the British Army. RELIEF OF LADVS.MITIf 111 the business part of tlie city the streets were tliroiujed ; business was entirely suspended, for no one seemed to think of aught but the good news. The Secretary of the School Board, Mr. Eweii Stewart, had granted the city schools a holiday.' Rev. James Simpson, Head Master of St. Peter's School had dismissed both Boys' and Girls' School ; the students had formed in a body outside the church and sang God vSave the Queen, which was followed by three lustv cheers for Her Majesty' General Buller and the British Army. The scholars then tnarched up Queen Street, while the beating of a drum called attention to the children of Queen Square School coming en masse down Richmond Street, headed by a big drum in charge of Stanislaus Blanchard and Charlie Donovan. It was then bufa few moments after ten o'clock ; but even with such short notice Union Jacks of all sizes were carried by the children, and the procession was gay with them. Pa.ssing down Queen Street, in the direction of tlie City Hall, they were joined by the pupils of West Kent and Princ'e Street Schools, nearly every one of them carrving flags. They then marched to the City Hall, where they ma.ssed and gave three cheers for the Queen. His Worship the Mayor there spoke to them briefly : but every sentence was loyal and patriotic; the address one worthy of its worthy theme. At the close he proclaimed the dav ' public holiday. a It was a scene that will long be remembered ; the thousands of children with their flags flying ; the numberless spectators ; the hearty, lusty cheers which rang out from time to time while the address was being delivered, and the jubilant enthusiasm shown by one and all. At the close of the Mayor's address God Save the Queen was rendered, the spectators joining in with a will. Then three cheers were given for the Queen • Lord Roberts, Gen. Buller, Lord Dundonald and the Mayor, and the children dispensed. The Prince of Wales College students paraded through the principal street , and halted before Geo. Carter & Go's Bookstore.

Afterwards they marched to the vSquare in front of the Provincial Building, and were addressed by. Premier Farquharson, Senator Ferguson, Supt. McLeod, Mr. Arthur Peters, M. L. A., Attorney-General McKinnon, Principal L. B. Miller, Prof. Mellish and Mr. E. S. McPhail on the grand news received of Ladysmith's relief. There were many people present. Here they were joined by the pupils of the Charlotte- town Business College, who had been given a holiday by Principal Miller, and who had previously ma.ssed in front of Victoria Row cheering for Queen and Country, After leaving the Colonial Building the students formed in ranks and proceeded to the City Hall, where they sang "God Save the Queen " enthusiastically, and once more hung " Paul Kruger to a Sour Apple Tree." Then, headed by a big drum, beaten by Eric McLean, and with flags carried bj- hundreds, they lined up and marched to Government House. They formed in a body and presented a beautiful sight with their waving flags and bright faces. " God vSave the Queen " was sung lustily and three cheers for Her Mo.st Gracious Majesty followed. Governor Mclntyre addressed them, welcoming them to Government House. He said they were- especially welcome on account of the mission that had brought them there, the celebrating of the victory of the British arms. He referred to our Canadian men and their bravery, and to the end of the war, which could not be far distant. His speech was enthusiastically received, and three cheers and a tiger were given for Her Majesty. Then three cheers more for the British Army and Gen. Buller, and three as well for Governor Mclntyre. The Kindergarten School marched along the streets waving flags, headed by Prof. Watts, while Miss Sayre and staff attended the ranks. They all made a pretty sight, and were cheered on the way to the City Hall, Meanwhile our energetic and loyal Premier, Mr Farquharson, had been thinking of the be.st way to celebrate the day in other ways.

From the upper windows of Chas. J. Mitchell's Bookstore flags were waving also, some of them being securely fastened on to brooms, the suggestion being plain of the clean sweep of the Boers made by the British. Packages of explosives, and a musket that " Cherrie " says was made about the year " one," poured a steady volley from the .second .story windows until 12 o'clock, when the shop clo.sed for the day. A down town merchant's enthusiasm took the practical form of placing free refreshments in buckets on the sidewalk, and the appreciation shown was hearty enough to please the most exacting. A. E. Morrison and F. Parker Carvell personally .solicited subscriptions for a telegram of congratulation to be .sent to Gen. Buller, and in the .short space of one hour had the requisite amount in hand, $32.00, and the me.ssage was .speeding over the wires on to its de.stination in South Africa. The following is the text of the telegram : — *' Gkneral Buller, Ladysmith : " Charlottetown heartily congratulates you and brave soldiers in performance seemingly impossible task. Congratulations to Dundonald, White, Hunter. City wildly enthusiastic. Illumin- ations tonight. [Sgd.] Warburton, Mayor." As the twelve o'clock whistles sounded the dinner hour, a memorable morning in the history of Charlottetown was brought to a close. * * * * * At two o'clock the .strains of " Soldiers of the Queen " drew eager listeners to the City Hall, where had grouped together the Citizens' Band in uniform, under the leadership of Robert R. Galbraith, the oldest bandmaster in active service in Canada, 12 RELIEF OF LADYSMFTir ( i and whose birthday was the same date and year as that of oiir beloved Sovereign.

The floor of the window and the back-round were of red. white and blue bunting in abundant folds, while the whole was covered in al)o\e bv bands of the same, festooned to various points from a large gil't crown in the centre. The wmdow was particularly effective at night, when it was illuminated by colored electric lights, and was worthv of the admiration it received. W. A. Weeks & Co. were gaily decorated with flags and bunting, and brilliantly illuminated. Moore & McLeod did no special window dressing, bnt they had lights in profnsion. and all the evening kept up a steady blaze of sky rockets from the roof of their shop, while beautiful red fire cast a gorgeous reflection all around. The Dry Goods Store of Sentner, McLeod & Co. presented a ple.vung appearance.

Tiie other contained the Julnlee picture of Her Majesty, with the Union Jack around it. The window dressing was done by W. Martin. Johnson & Johnson's up town .store was gay wit! flags ; Weeks & Warren showed cuts of Lord Kitchener and Bui er, and John H.

We must not forget that it was fired by John Gillis. When the procession again came up Queen Street the enthusiasm was as indescribable as the brilliancy of the scene. The procession was under command of Col. Moore ; the Militia forces being commanded by Col. Longworth, During the march the "lord of misrule" stalked through the town in such a way as to show how truly we appreciate the military manoeuvres that have accomplished such a feat, and to teach " Young Canada " in our midst a le.sson in patriotism that they will never forget. Returning to the north side of Market Square three cheers were given for the Queen, Lord Roberts, Lord Kitchener, Gen. Buller and the Canadian soldiers. A big bonfire on Market Square sent its signal of rejoicing heavenward, the match being set to it by Dan Ferguson. The assembled thousands watched its flames, their hearts thrilling with patriotism to the myriad Union Jacks which, in the glare, could be seen waving proudly over buildings, whose windows, as Shakespeare puts it, were "graced with wreaths of victory." To Mayor Warburton, Premier Farquharson and Col. Moore, and to their associates 18 RELIEF OF LADYSMITH who worked so zealously is due the greatest credit for having on such short notice, arranged the whole celebration, the execution of which was carried out without a hitch.

Calder & Sons, " The Scottish Tailors," the honor is due of flying the largest and handsomest Union Jack in the city When the number of flags flying must have numbered many hundreds, some of them very large and handsome, the honor is not an empty one. Another fact worthy of note re Messrs. Calder & Sons ; is that three of the recently accepted contingent took their military coats to this firm to have some extensive alterations made on them. The soldiers were in a hurry to imve the work done, and two men at once set to work, and after a steady morning's labor, the job was completed.

Roland Taylor was a student at West Kent school ; afterwards ho graduated to Prince of Wales collesre, which after a time he left, and prefernntc out-door life, did not pursue his studies further. It was his father's intention to have purchased him a farm either on the Island or in the Northwest. He was a member of the CharloUetown Enjiineers, and one of the first volunteers for South Africa. His love of his country is best told in his own words. si)oken just previous to his leavin.^: home : "My father is an pjiijlishman, and I am a Son of Kngland." He was the son of K.

Charlottktown, p. E. I., March 12, 1900. A royal send-off was given to the second company of Lsland boys. Their departure was announced late in the afternoon, but netwithstanding this fact every one seemed to know about it, and governed themselves accordingly. Kent Street, from the City Hall to the drill shed was lined with people all the evening. Militia men moved among the crowd hither and thither, com- pleting the picture of brightness ; and the enthusiasm of the people seemed more inten.se than ever, on the departing of the second contingent. A little before nine o'clock all the departing soldiers were initiated into the Foresters, the premiums on their policies having been subscribed in the afternoon. The Drill Shed presented a brilliant spectacle, and as soon as the order of "fall in" rang through it, the "farewells" began. It was a scene no pen could describe !
