Foreward by Phyllis Dand:

"The Islander" was published by John Ings from Dec 1842 until 1873. In 1859, William Henry Pope took over the role as editor after the death of the previous editor, Duncan MacLean, and remained with it until the end of publication. The Islander was a long-time conservative Island Newspaper which like others, printed vitals, and which have so far not been transcribed anywhere we know of.

Duncan Campbell's "History of Prince Edward Island" mentions "The Islander" where it says: "In November, 1842, Mr. John Ings started a weekly newspaper, designated The Islander, which fully realized in its conduct the promises made in the prospectus. For thirty-two years it continued an important public organ, when, for reasons into which it is not our business to inquire, it was discontinued."

Irene Rogers mentioned in her book, "Charlottetown The Life in its Buildings": "In 1847 John Ings, publisher of the Islander, wrote: "Our next number will be issued from our new office in Water Street adjoining Gainsford's Brick building." Later on he published a prospectus of a reading room to be established "in the new building adjoining Gainsford's brick house." The reading room was almost as important to the community as the printing and newspaper office. Before the advent of libraries, it provided significant recreational and educational facilities... The Islander was published from this location every Friday until 1873 when John Ings retired. In the late 1870's the Examiner was published for a time from this site". The building at 108 Water Street still exists today, attached to the eastern side of Gainsford house, one of many Charlottetown buildings listed in the "Canadian Register of Historic Places".

Obituary: On Sunday evening last, at 7 o’clock, John Simpson, Esquire, Queen’s Printer, for nearly 34 years Proprietor and Publisher of this Paper, died at his residence in this city, aged 68(?)years.
This event has deprived the community of one of its most valuable citizens. The poor, the widow, and the fatherless, have lost a kind and generous friend , his widow, a devoted partner, his family a loving and affectionate parent, the public a faithful officer, and his Staff of workmen and Apprentices, an Employer and a Master beloved by them all.
IN all the varied offices he has been called to fill, he has performed his duty to the best of his ability, and with a ready mind.
Whether as Captain of a Volunteer Company, Mayor of the City, Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, or Queen’s Printer, his constant aim was to do his duty and do it well.

He spared no expense in order to have his office well provided with the most competent workmen and the very best materials for the public service, and how well he succeeded in doing that work, the volumes of Province Laws, the Legislative Journals, and all other work executed at his office will show, as the can compare most favorably with the same kind of work in any part of the Empire.
He united himself with the Wesleyan Church before he left his native country, and has always been a liberal contributor towards its support in this city.
For some time past he had frequently intimated his opinion that he was drawing near his end; and resting alone on the finished work of Redeeming love, he enjoyed that peace of mind which the world cannot give; and when, in his last moments, he felt the hand of death was upon him, hopefully, peacefully and triumphantly, he exclaimed “all’s well,” and fell asleep in Jesus.

Todays obituary contains the name of Samuel Nelson, Esquire, who died on Tuesday last at the ripe age of 90 years. The name of the deceased gentleman is associated with the earliest period in the history of Prince Edward Island.
In the year 1786 - eighty years ago - General Edmund Fanning was appointed to replace Walter Patterson, the first Governor of the Island, and in the autumn of year the General arrived in Charlottetown, bringing with him young Nelson. Governor Patterson did not leave the Island until 1788. Mr. Nelson recollected him very well and has often told the writer that he had known every Governor and Chief Justice of the Island. About the year 1811, Mr. Nelson was elected a member of the House of assembly, and from that early period until the year 1839 he continued a member. Mr. Nelson also filled the office of High Sheriff of the County. In former years he occupied a leading position among the merchants of Charlottetown, and during his long life was highly respected by all his acquaintances.. His death severs the last link in the chain which connected the present generation with the first settlers of the Island after the period of the English occupation. Many and great are the changes which Mr. Nelson witnessed in this Island. We may instance one. In his early days, a Courier with letters left the Island occasionally for Halifax, carrying the mails on his back. He crossed at Tatamagouche, and in three days reached Halifax. From Halifax the letters were carried to England in King's ships, and it not infrequently happened that in the Island intelligence from England was wanting for more than three months.

(the circumstances are covered in great length but not all is included here)
Donald M. Patterson was a son of the Rev. R. S. Patterson, and was doing a mercantile business on Water Street. He was about 31 or 32 years of age, and was beloved and respected by all who knew him for his many excellent qualities. We deeply sympathise with his bereaved parents and friends, who have lost in him a man of much promise.
James Ramsay was a native of Arbreth, near Dundee, in Scotland, and came to this country in September last, being engaged as a clerk to R.T. Holman, Esq. He was about 24 years of age; and for the short time he had been among us had endeared himself to many friends by his amiable disposition and good conduct.
The funeral took place yesterday (Saturday) and was one of the largest and most imposing that ever occurred in this part of the Island. About 1 o’clock, p.m. the body of young Ramsay was taken to North Bedeque, followed by over one hundred carriages, to the residence of Rev.

Melancholy Occurrence: - A man named John McMahon, for some years past a servant in the employ of L.P.W. DesBrisay, Esq., of Richibucto, was drowned at the entrance of Bedeque Harbor on Monday last. This unfortunate man while assisting to haul in the mainsail of a schooner bound from Richibucto to Summerside, was carried overboard, and as the wind was blowing strong, ere any assistance could be rendered, he sank. The mainsail had been lowered; the strap of the main sheet block had parted after the boom was lowered, and it is probable that McMahon seized the sail and was carried over by it. A pine plank quite sufficient to have supported him was thrown within a few feet of him, but the man in his terror appeared not to regard it. An attempt was made to launch the boat, but as usually happens in such cases, the boat, which was on the deck under the foresail, when got out was filled in the act of launching. This casualty, as it happened, was of little consequence, for ere the boat reached the water poor McMahon had disappeared. McMahon’s parents reside on the Hillsborough River, in this Island. The unfortunate young man left in the schooner, not as one of the crew, but for the sake of a trip to the Island. He was a very inoffensive man, and it is sad to reflect that by his untimely end a wife and five small children are cast upon the world.
(Aug 9, Issue – the body of John McMahon, lost overboard a few days since from a Schooner from Richibuctor, bound to Summerside, washed ashore near Sea Cow Head, on Monday last.)

A Heart-Rending Occurrence.
A Schooner called the Lalla Rooka, commanded by Capt., Davison, formerly of New London, and loaded with ship plank by Mr. Gay, of Lot 49, left Egmont Bay on Saturday evening last. There were on board besides Capt. Davison and Mr. Gay, a son of the captain’s, a fine lad of about 17 or 18 years of age and a sailor whose name we have not heard. After rounding Cape Egmont a squall struck the schooner and threw her on her beam ends. The crew cut away the masts and she righted. The stove was washed overboard and the cabin was full of water, so the four poor fellows were exposed, without shelter, during the whole of that bitterly cold night to the pitiless fury of the gale. The sea, it seems, made a complete breach over the drifting wreck, and the water froze on the men’s clothes making exertion next to impossible. The captain – and to this, no doubt, under Providence he owes his own preservation – made every exertion to keep the others from perishing. But his efforts were in vain. One by one his companions, benumbed by the cold and exhausted by their exertions, lay down to die, and the poor man with unutterable anguish, no doubt, saw his son perish by his side. The vessel was discovered on Sunday morning near Strong’s brickyard, by some Frenchmen. Three of her crew, Gay, young Davison and the sailor, were quite dead and encased in ice, but Capt. Davison was still alive, though insensible and badly down.
Since writing the above we have seen the body of Mr. Gay, which was brought her on Wednesday, on its way to his home, Lot 49. He was a fine able man, about 45 years of age, and leaves a wife and 5 children. The name of the other man that perished was George Pearn, of Charlottetown, who leaves a wife and 2 children – his body was interred in the St. Eleanor’s grave yard last evening. The body of young Davison was taken to New London, by his friends. We also learn that Capt., Davison is doing well – he has one hand and one ankle badly frozen. He says Pearn died about 10 o’clock, Gay about 12, and his son a short time after.
