Hundreds of poor people, men, women and children of all ages, from ninety to the babe just born, huddled together without light, without air, wallowing in filth and breathing a fetid atmosphere, sick in body, dispirited in heart, the fever patients lying between the sound.
THE RELIUQUARY

John Doherty, of Partridge Island, who has been missing since the 14th Inst. On which day has not been heard from, and there is much reason to fear that he has been drowned. He leaves a wife and five children.
Reliquary Hall
Two weeks after school opened Charles, eleven years old, lost his life in a tragic explosion. I spent a lot of time with Peg and Harry after that, and stayed overnight on occasions when Harold was away on time off.
THE COLUMBARIUM
Partridge Island, which takes its name from the fact that in the early settler’s days, hundreds of partridges could be found upon it…The soil is unproductive, save here and there a patch of hay can be grown or a few potatoes cultivated. There are few fir trees scattered along the northeastern portion of it, but the general appearance of the place is desolate and uninviting.
