THE NEW HOSPITAL FOR ST. ANTHONY

By DR. W ILFRED T . GRESFF.1.L

OOefOR CURTIS. beloved physician, hassteered the ship here with wonderf ulresult s. To tell the tr uth he is an in­

her itor also of those fighting Qualities of theMaster , which were no sma ll facto rs in theimpress that He made first in His fishing vii­lage, the St. Anthony of H is day in Galilee,and so on the world throughout all the een­turies to come.-How many forget tha t cour­age, manliness, accomplishment and facing ofdanger are just as Christlike chaucteristics6S gentleneas and meekness, and are absolutelyas essential factors as intellectual acceptancesof truth in a world like ours. As we stoodin Solomon's porch in ]co:rusalem among thecrowd of fanatical wcr shippers, realiaing theunparalleled courage of the young Carpenter,who alone overthrew the "big interests" in theIace of a crowd just as ready to resent anyprotest, it was Christ's superb courage thatmade our blood tingle and our eyes sparkleas we thought of the Master- we have chosento try to follow. It made us realize there isnothing namby pamby, nothing soft in follow­ing such a fearless Knight-it makes onestraighten up, and look round to see if thereis anything one can do to give play to a newenergy-that is what Christ asks of us-tofollow Him. And whenever we really get aglimpse of Him as He rea lly was, we forgetour infallibility, that we have been calling"faith," and want to do things.

1 followed Dr. Curtis round the wards ofthe old hospital yesterday afternoon. Everybed was full, and the "Tubercular Shack"moved down from its place on the hill wasalso pressed into the service. Scattered amongthose patients who, having only acute illnessor accidents, wou ld need to occupy beds for acomparati\·c1y short time, I counted, those withtubercular hips, 6; with tubercular knees, 4;with tubercula r spines, 4. T hese, if they are

to have any chance at all, must remain withus thr ough the winte r. Especially inter estingwas one poor tad, who had begun to showreal signs of improvem ent only after a wholeyea r in the hospita l. Hope shone throug h hiseyes. W ho cou ld see this poor fellow andsay, "$on ny, awfully sorry, but you must go.lt will cost us $2 a day for six more monthsto see you safely started in li fe again. Youcan't occupy one of our needed beds anylonger, nor, as you haven't any money, andcan't eam any, can we pay for your food. Vo'eare sorry, but you must go out and die, miser­ably," Who could do that-and then go offand buy a pearl necklace for his wife, or shal1we say a bigger and more expensive car, andthen go down on his knees and thank God forlife here, and for the hope of Eternal life?Only the man "who has eyes and sees not­and a heart that docs not understand," Forthere is for our people no other a lte rna th'e,-St. Anthony hospital is their only hope­unless they have money.

Th is evening the fishermen and friends , whoseemed to spring out of the earth like the menfrom the d ragon's teeth, invited us to a recep­tion in the big school, that had been madepossib le by Madam MacCormick of Chicagoand completed by )'Iiu Harr-iet Houghtelingand ),fiss Dorothy Stirling. After the spc«hes,a convalescing patient, his head swathed inbandages, asked permission to say a word onbehalf of "strangers." I never heard anythingquite like it-and there were more than onetrying to keep back tears before he wasthrough. He said briefly "I was blind, 1had no hope-so 1 came to 51. Anthony Hos­pital, Now I see, God be praised and thosewho made it possible:' His white hair, thetones of his Quiet voice, the dignity and grati­tude of the man, just made men unaccustomedto tear s wipe their eyes. D r. Andrews, the

A~IONG THE DEEP·SEA FrsH ER S

volunteer eye specialist, is jo urnc:)"ing back toCa lifo rnia, where the earthquake has ruinedhis home. I wondered if his ean were tingling.

Sitting beside me w115 a blind fisherman,who had "come too late." What might it ha vemeant to him to have had a 51. Anthony Hospi­ta l to go to! His wife and children were in the:audience. Yet he is one of the "smilingest"men in the: place. He has a nice home-s-earnsgood money and does good work for it. wherecan a fisherma n who is blind ea rn a living onthis Coast? J.'ou"hu-" but in Min Cteveta nd'sIndust r ial Dt:partmmt-/hat is parI of SI.An/M"y Hospital"

Later, when ref reshments were being served,threadi ng their way amid the dense crowdand carrying cakes and biscuits to the visitors,I noted two girls-born blind, and given met wenty years ago when they were: only twoweeks old, because their widowed mothercou ldn't feed her family-two gi rls as happy115 there are any where. There: are othe r waysto see besides th rough lenses and optic nerves,and to these children sight has been given, ex­actly as power was given to the man lame fromhis birth-and done in the: same way as Petertold his crowd the miracle had been performed-"through faith in H is name." These q-;rlsare able to see and walk about tonight, notby mysterious miracle, but by St. AnthonyH ospita l and the Halifax School for theBlind-and now by service in His name theyare back to serve. How many of you whowill read this have "received your sight"?

Fo ur separate motor 00.15 arrived todaybr ing ing patien ts. One: brought a man withtyphoid. Everyone says, "T hat's worth whi le:anyhow, He: certa inly won't be pauperizedby being brought to a hospital." The second,was a case of rh euma tic feve r, H e, too,ought to have immediate access to help, be­cause his hea r t is in such danger . The thir dwas a case of rheumat oid art hritis. He cer­ta inly should come, and quickly-because pos­sibly the: focus of his infection will be fou nd,and the poor fellow unquestionably be savedboth suffering and loss of ability to work.T he fourth was a sadder case-a very definitebeginning of tubercular disease of the spine.He has been ailing and unab le: to earn any ­thing for some time. H e hu no money. Hecan't pay $2 a day-the: case wi ll need longsurveillance that in this country we can't giveun less he stays with us. If we put him up ina cast we should a t least SC'!t it once a month-that can't be done in winte r. We have tr iedthis alte rnativ e-s-the cast has become broken,the skin ir ritated and infected, and so res worsethan w ithout it have followed.

Long ago we decided that it is better to"g ive good advi ce" (that does n't cost much)and own up honest ly we can do nothing forhi~,-unless we are ready to II1«t the otheralternative, take him in and Iace the prob lem"as we would have him do to us" if circum­stances were changed around. But how longdoes that mean for him to be on our hands?No t less than twelve months. Won't thatpauperize him? Whm w ill he be able 10 fish,and hau l heavy anchors again? XOt undereighteen months or two years. Can he earnanything meanwhile? Yes, in the Industr ialDepartment, if he stays with us,

Readers of this, what shall we do? It isfor you to say, You have made possible thecures of the blind" YOIl have made it pos­sible for this beautiful gir l jus t gone out ofthe door to walk, She was complete ly par a­lyzed by inf ant ile: para lysis, It was eigh teenmonths before she cou ld sta nd on her Ieet.People who knew her have been amazed whcnthey beheld tha t it was "one who had beenpara lyzed almost from her bi rth." The expla­nation is the same again-you who have thespirit of the Ch rist have made it possi1)I~.

These thirty )"e~.n such things bave been bap­pc:ning. It's your fau lt---a.1I this horrid pau­periting. But no ..... I think of it, the: people whosay that, never themselves incurred that reosponsibility-c-theij- names are not on our listof helpers, There would be no hospitals, therewould be few schools, there would be no place.of refuge: for helpless child ren, for erringwomanhood, for poor humanity driven by oldage, by misfo rtune o r by fault to despair, ifit wasn't for H is spirit in us.

Why did fou r motor boats, a ll from differ­ent places, scatte red a long th is shore, steamconfident ly lip to the wharf and lay their suffer­ing f riends r ight into S I. Anthony Hospital ?Beca use they had money? No. Si mply be­ca use they knew that no case has ever beenturned away that St. Anthony Hospital couldserve-that's why. Befo re they leavethey will be asked " How much can )"OU giveto help this hospita l to do more for others?"Results a re what men, and finally, God tellsus He, too, will j udge by. Xo docto r that hasever served these men "who go down to thesea in ships" will query our deduction. Theyare much more likely to give more than theyshould, rather than less. Out of their poverty,compa red to ours, they have gh't:rl alreadyover $1,000 to help provide the new brick hos­pital. They know the need. La st week a poorfellow, when going out cured. almost wept be­cause he hadn 't one cent to pay. He said, " Iha ve si x shee p and can sell those and send

the mOfl~Y." But we knew he also had sixc.hild rtn, and those he couldn' t sell. "1'11 paysome day ," was his determ ina tion. Perhapsthi s is the reason why we hate to "bathe inJor dan " like old Xaaman-c-red blooded menhate dependence.

One day last week when I entered a wardat Battle Hospital, a fisherman, supposed tobe getting w~1I of broncho-pneumonia, waslooking so mise rable, I asked, "J im, what'sthe matte r-got any pain?" He ac tua lly weptwhen I spoke, and I knew then it wasn' tphysical trouble merely. "It's home, Doctor,there's no one to earn a cent fo r the children."It is really ha rd on the doctor, with his proo­lems, to have to try to cure a man with abroken heart thrown into the scales aga insthim. A man carne here last week to S t. An ­thon)' , because he hadn' t $2 a day to pay forhelp in a hospita l fu rthe r south. tha t hasno outside resources. I don 't believe that onepublic hospita l in the Un ited Stat es or Eng landcould live a lear and pay its way in receiptsfr om its pati ent s, Especiall y, patient s like ours ,who earn not one cen t when they ar e ill, Any­how, St. Anthony might almost as well close itsmedical ward if the pat ient must go to sleepeach night with , "There's anoth er two dollardebt hangi ng round my neck," and wake eachmorn ing with the weary task all day long ofponder ing, "Shall I ever live to repay thisfurther $2?"

A yacht carne in here last week f rom N_Jen e)'. " ' Ve have jus t added a new wing toour hospita l," our friend told us. "A newwing ? "H e w much did it cost ?" '',ooס,ס$60''

just thank God for them and their good r ightarm s, and the inspira tion they give us. Thepathetic spraker last night , who had been blind,said in his speech, "One of the first things Isaw after the operation on my eyes was col­lege boys wheeling arou nd zoo-pound barrelslike toys, and paying for the pr ivilege-whenthey might be enjoying themselve s!" I lockedround at some of the boys, with thei r "smilethat doesn't come off"--strange, they seemednot to be suff ering from melanch oly I "For tyyean ago, when I was training," he went on,"it neve r occurr ed to me men with moneywould go out and do manual work like that,fOf' nothing , for Qnst's.sake.

There it goes agai n, Bang, bang, bang,bangety bang!! A wonderf ul new song, how- .ever, it ' seems to be trying to get into myth ick head. I am trying now to listen to itsvoice.

"Keep working, keep work ing, keep work­ing," it says this time-the words gettingbigger and bigger and bigge r, like Alice inWonderl and.

It doesn't even take t ime to say, "Loo k atthe foundations we've built . See what we'vedone, and let me be for a bit," No, therecord wr itten is a good solid foundation ofa N ew H Olpital for St. Anth ony- that is it sown record. Bangety, bangety, bang l l Per­haps it knows time is on the wing and its dayof opport unity-like mine-is fast passing,never to come back.

"what we want," says Dr, Curtis , "is justa place to put people into." H e had come upto talk ever any possible cutti ng down of anything "that can be done wit hout, " so as tomeet the bills for the walls and the roof, whenthey come in, \Ve must have a section ofsome sort for crip pled children-and possiblythe staff could eat in the sitt ing room-andhe waved a telegram at me from 300 milesaway. I t read, "My litt le gir l with club feetis on her way to you." He had just receivedit, I thought of the splendid section of theRockefeller H ospital in Pekin wbcre our docolleague, Dr. George Van Gorder, is profes .sor ·of orthopedics-and of the splendid hos­pitals that the Shriners are raising everywherefor the helpless cripples of North America,especially of the new one in Montreal, whereDr, Forbes, also one of our old colleagues,presides,

We are Anglo-Saxons. \Ve live in NorthAmerica. Many of the patients of the Statesand Canada are far less American and Cana­dian than we. I f this legend meets the eyeof a good Mason, especially of a Shriller, Ipray he mention it to all Shriners, every­where. They would love to "Start a Circus"of this kind if they came and saw the need,I know. We can't build our whole buildingto resist frost and be safe from fire, andequip it, under $&>,000. The Council haveborrowed the credit necessary to go on WIthit, because so far we have only $20,000 in

sight. $25,000 wou ld give us the only ortho­pedic 'clinic north of Nova Scotia, so far" aswe kn ow, and certain ly so far as anyone elsedoes up here- none this side of the :-Jcnh Pole.

T his girl coming along will be here in aday or two, I can't stop her at the old doorand say "Can you pay for this and, if lOUcan't, go back and stay crippled, dymgby the seaside like the man at the pool for48 years"-adding, perhaps, "\Ve are sorryour gospel has to end with a wish that Godmay bless you. Good-by ! If you had typhoidor a cold or a sore finger we could have keptyou a few days, free, good-by! Don't forgetus ?" Why, if it is Christian to save an appen­dix case, why not these other extremities j-c­

Just because it takes longer and costs a litt lemore, Cancer cases take a long time. Theyare wit hout hope in the wo rld up here, e::Iceptfor 51. Anth ony H ospita l. I hope St. Anthon y,himself , is able to take note of this and feelshonored.

Th e only rad ium I know of north of Hali­fax or Montreal is righ t here on the tab le.Th e ladies of the T wentieth Century Club gaveit to us in Pi ttsburgh. A whole queue of theirsisters condem ned to death for no fault oftheir own - mothers-sisters-daughte rs - tosay nothing of tough old fishermen facingtheir end-s-hopeless and beaten by this cruelenemy, when they had so long and bravelyfoug ht "the perils of the deep down North,"­awa ited the arriv al of tha t apparent life givingimpulse that the ladies of P ittsburgh, underthe presidency of Mrs. W illiam T haw sent us.Dr, Curtis is now applying those same tubesto a great bone tumor in a little gir l. Theywill be good for 350 years! I

Any one who does not feel for people insuch dire suffe ring and distress as "not worthtrying to save," should visit a friend or rela'­rive of their own in such a hospital as the"Robert Bent Brigham" hospital in Boston­but better still, they should come and pay usa visit, and see for themselves, They shouldsee Jim mie, the head of our Mechanica l In­dustrial Department, once a tubercular spinecase ; and Bobbie, our painting departmenthead, a tubercular hip case.

"Worth while, worth while, worth while,"the old stone is banging in my ears now. Iwish some one would hand me a looking­glass. r know it would help me to feelkind when r considered this problem, and mighthelp me to "th row a fcw bricks at this newstranger," appearing in St. Anthony, Indeed,I pray it may, for we need them badly [orour own peace of mind, and that we may beable to do the task as thoroughly and efficiently

If my lads were in such straits as these whocome here almost daily, or my little daughterin need of what St. Anthon); alone could give,what would I not do? Would beaded kneeor prostrate body help to get it? Would InOI pray like a Pathan, prostrate on m)' face-or like a Moalem, OIl my knees, with my fore­head bent to the ground-c-or like a japanese.bending f rom the hips at is degrets-or KnwTow ing or being stood on my head or hanginglike a two-teed Sloth , if 1 thought by anysuch effort I could s tve thcm relief ?

Jerry, the father of the little g irl whom weleft st ruggling with li fe in Battl e Hospital,was rowing me across th e har bor j ust before Ileft , On Sunday night, in the Mission Hall,he had heard me say that women and child ren

"Doctor," he said, "somehow I'm not likethose Chinese, I suppose. I'd give my lifeany moment for Flossie."

HISTORY OF ST . ANT HON Y HOSP ITAL

By S. EloI)lA D EMAREsr

T H E first small hospital on the Labradorcoast was opened by Dr. Grmitll atBante Ha rbor in I8c)J. The follo wing

yt.r a secon d hospit.1 w.s built on IndianHar be r Island, 200 miles north of Battle Har­bor, too far north to be kept open in the win­tenime. Dr. Grenfell wished to establish awinte r headquarters for his Indian Ha rborstaff. H is original plan was to build at St.Anthony a hospita l which should open in Oc­tober and dose in June. Before 1899 the doc­tor had stopped at St . Anthony to see a fewpat ients, and in November of that yea r he wentwith Alfred Beattie, his young Oxford fri end,to spend the winter there, visiting neighbor­ing villages by dog team to give thc m medica la tten tion, In 1900 he lectur ed in Eng land andCanada. In J901 he spent anothe r win ter inSt. Anthony, and in early SJlring he says: "Anexpedition to the woods was a rranged an d witha hundred men and thrice as many dogs weramped in the t rees and at the end of a fort­night came home hau ling behind us the ma­te rial for a J6xJ6 hMpital. Our kitchen wasdug down through six fm of snow." Sobegan the St. Anthony Hospita l, Dr. GrenfellCulling the lumber, laying the foundation andacting as commissary fo r food and supplies.St. Anthony later hearne the headquarters ofall the medical work on the coast,

Visitors of today who are familia r with thebetter-equi pped hospita l, with its summer sta ffof an istan ts and nurses and crowds of pa-

tients, find it hard to realize what the hospitalwas then. Two small wards-c-one for menand one for women-a small operating room.and a little waiting room adjoining the dis­pensary and office where patients who came

for temporary tr-ea tment of minor ills wereaccommodated for the night, or rather, thesix or eight hours before the return of thesteamer, for a t that time the steamer did notcross the Strait of Belle Isle to Battle Harbor,but visited only two small villages beyondSt. Anthony.

The accommodations mentioned consisted ofa long settee, furnished with a cushion, anda few wheel chairs capable of king adjuste-ifor semi- reclining. The settee was very popu­lar and much in dnnand. Those not fortunateenough to secure the settee or wheel chainsat and dozed in ordinary chairs until thereturn of the steamer. Among them werethose who came merely for medicine or toaccompany sick relath·('J.

J04 A:>.IOSG T HE DEEP-SEA FISHERS

In those early days the patients WeTI' broughtasho re in a trap boat, for the wharf was 1101

long enough to reach the depth of water re­quir ed for the steamer which was obligedto anchor in the harbor, sometimes quite adistance from shore, and all the patie nts, inwhatever condition, walked or WeTI' carrieddown the narrow steps over the side, and wererowed to the wharf, where they scrambled orwere lifted up over the logs,. there being nolanding stage or even steps.

The means of heating was then a small fur­nace in an excavation under one part of thehospital. Only soft coal was available, thefire was intermittent, and the heat not sufficientto ma-ke any part of the building really com­fortable. The amount of warmth was supple­mented by oil stoves in tire wards and a smallheating stove in the living room. All the

water was brought in buckets or bar rels froma spring near-b)' at the foot of a hill, and therefuse was carried out in pails and emptiedin a dump or cesspool. There was one bath­room and the tub was filled and emptied byhand, Several large pitchers were in evidencethat required constant replenishing. The light­ing was, of course, by kerosene lamps.

The first improvement was the introductionof an electric lighting plant installed by theP ratt Institute of Brooklyn, about 11)08. Itwas due to the efforts of a sister of Dr. Litt lethat the hospital is now fu lly twice its originalsize, the sum of $14,000 having been raised byher for the purpose, large ly from her friends.A big step forward was made about fifteenyears ago when the Union Th eological Semi­nary of New York sent the disca rded second­hand plumbing from their old bui lding to 51.Anthony, thus making it possible to equipthe enlarged hospital with steam heat andmodern plumbing, using running water froma reservoir on the hill. Two wards and alarge waiting room were added, with bath­rooms and service rooms, and in the thirdstory comfortable accommodations for thestaff. In the waiting room, low, wide lock­ers were built along three sides of the wall,where, with the addition of blankets, com fort ­ers and pillows, the waiting people could bemade fairly comfortable for the night.

Then were added a sun room and two open.sunny, upstairs porches where tuberc ular pa­tients could stay all day, except in stormy orvery severe winter weather. The re is nowa well-lighted operating room, a sterilizing andanesthetizing room and a laborato ry given byone of the head nurses, and even an X- rayapparatus.

So much for the mate rial equip ment,brou~ht toget her with gr\"ilt loyally, sacrificeand persistent. heroic effort. Or. Curtis. theable medica l officer. now in charge of St. An­thony, calls it the "Mecca of the sick of Sew­foundlalld and Labrador:'

In addition to the many interesting srcriesof lives restored to health and usefulness, ofcroo ked limhs made straight. of minds astraybrougbt back to sanity, much preventive workhav been accomplished. Idea ls of hygiene andhealth have been brought to dark and lonelyhomes, Sunshine and f resh air fo r tbe tuber­cular loud something beside white bread andtea fo r those suffering fro m beriberi have hadtr ans forming power alonll: the Coast, Dr .Littl (: s wor k in nu tr-ition, for the cur e ofberiberi, has internationa l significance. so thatthe inilucnrc of th is lit tle hospital is not con­

fined t" the l,eu,,11' who come with in its walls ;it reaches to the rice eaten of China and themalnour ished eve rywhere.

Dr. GT<.1Ifel1 has att rac ted to the work othergreae sll('Cialists who have given freely of theirtraining and of their knowledge.

II is fitting that this center of heilling forthose who must rome so far over icc orthrough rough seas for first aid as well asfo r complete restora ncn , should be a stoutand permanent shelter for all who need it. Toquote Dr. Curtis again: "This old buildingis fast going under . It has passed beyond re­pair . Bu t when one thinks of the hundredstha t haw' gone through he re in the past twe nty­five year-s, and the initia l uutlay uu thehuilding so sma ll. one marvels at so milchdone , I do not believe there is a hospit a lin the world tha t cost so littl e, and has ac­complished so much.

and I expect in St. Anthony aicoe $1,000 willbe raised for the new building." (In the j uly,1925, magazi ne $1,ClQ9.66 was reponed as con­tr ibuted at St. Anthony).

This means much of sacrifice. It took aperiod of three )'ears to raise th is amo unt,[or the rel'I.le served by the hospital halelittle ready money. The cost of running thehospit al in 19.14 was $4o,;6 L63, the receipts$1,962.81.

Th e f rame Imililing is o ld and draughty.It has no ch ildren's ward. It is too sma ll.On one boat fifty pat ients a rriv ed ; there werefift een beds awaiting the m. Last year 3,268patien ts were cared for, a rrivin g in boat s dis­charging from 2Uto t5--1 patients at a t ime, tax ­ing greatly the resources of the hospita l andits staff,

To the uninitiated, St. Anthony Sl"nIIS tohave performed miracles; only the initia tedknow at what expenditure of strength. cou r­age and skill the work has been accom plished;nil)' the)· know how much - more might bedone in a new and suitable building. Thelight of this hospital service has penet ratedfar along a bleak eoaet.

Le t us help Dr. Grenfell to make it stron gerand d ear er by putti ng up this new building­just a small 5o-bed hospital , two sto ries and

basement high, Box42 feet, with the wing forthe staff Jox40 feet , a story taller than themain building, making a tower. There willbe three large and four small wards ar rangedso that in order to save coa l SOllie may beshut off 'in winter. A special feature will besun porches, glazed in, for the use of tuber ­cular pati ents . The operating quarters willbe in a shut -off suite. There will be a lar gewaiting room. A laundry in th e basementwill be a big improvement over the prese ntouts ide bu ilding, also a g reat saving in coal.

The new hospital is being built of 8- inchconcrete blocks 'on a frame of stee l reinfo rcedcolumns, with steel beams and girde.rs. ( P rcb,ably by the time this magazine is in pr int allthe blocks will have been made) .

T he estima ted cost for the building alone is$80,000. We will use all the equip men t ofthe present buil ding and some expensive ma­chinery, such as concrete mixe r and metalform s, available fr om the build ing of th e or ,phanage.

\Ve have our own cont racto r-EdgarMcNeil, one of our St. Anthony boys, whoin his youth was sent by the Missio n to P rattInstitute, Brook lyn, N. Y., for technical t ra in­ing. H e spent the past winter and spring inNew York, studying the construction methodsused in the erection of steel frame work, etc.,of la rge buildings, ir: order that he might bethoroughly competent for the new duties de­volving upon him. " Ted" is superintendent incharg e of all the bui lding work of the Mission.

T he elect rical wor k, plu mbing, stea m heat­ing, etc., has as overseer another of our St.Anthony boys, Wilfred Mesher , who likewise

received his training at P ratt Institute abo utthe same time as Mr. Mc Neil.

\Ve are using 30 or 40 Newfoundland men ,a large ma jor-ity from St. Anthony and vicin­ity, as maso ns, plumbers, carpenters, electri­cians in the erection of the building. Many ofthese local men have been trained by the Mis­sion, many at some time have been sent tothe Uni ted St ates for inst ructi on. No t onlyis the rough work done by these men, butthe ski lled work a lso.

Th e men take great pri de in their work andmuch interest in the prog ress made. They fullyrea lize the benefits they and the ir fami lies ha vereceived from the old hospita l and are keenlyalive to the grea ter blessin gs in store fr omthe O1Ie now building.

The Mi ssion is runnin g a restaur ant so th ework ers ar e ass ured of at least one meat mealdai ly,

It is rema rkab le that the operat ions areconside rab ly ahead of schedu le time-a factemphasizi ng the efficiency and ar do r of th eworkm en, most of whom have been more ac­cus tomed to the fishing boat than to th e hand­ling of build ing tools.

Of course there are difficu lties to overcome.No gr avel being at St .

Did I tell you abo ut my birthday partyheld a t W ill Simms? I invited some

of the "wo ps." all of my Indust r ial wor kers,Miss Mau d H opkin s and Miss Mary Wilcox,who were both North last winter" Mrs. Si mms'birth day was the sa me week as minC' so wecelebrated together. I fu rnis hed a ga lloo ofice cream and Mr s. Simms the cakes and cof­fee. We went down about 7.JO, plaYM Flinch,Simon Says, "Thumbs Cp," Poor Puny, etc.,then had ref reshments. It really was l<lts offu n !

I expec ted to come No rth on the S. S, \Vo P,but the Mission foun d it co uld hire a schoonerfor much less so the schoone r "U towana" washir ed . I was af raid the Captain would nottake me as ther e were no accommoda tionsa board but he finally decided to and here I am.

On Thursday evening, July 9. we gave adinner party for Doctor and ~f rs. Grenfel land entert a ined as guests, Miss Roberts fromHa n ford, Conn.. Mi» S paldin g fr om England,both Orphanas-e workers j Dr . Cur tis and Mr ,

Warren, from the Hospital j and ~{iss Don01<l11,Dr. Grenfell's secretary: Miss Grace Pc-rker,~(in Ethel r-.oodridge and I, making ten in all.

Flowers were all around the room, anti a fireburning on the hearth, so it W<lS very cheery.The dinner was a great success, every one hada jolly time-directly afterward we all wentto the schoo l, where the "Time," o r par tygiven for Dr. and Mrs. Grenfell by the peopleof St. Anthony was to be hel:J,

The' room was decorated with evergreens,and the Union Jack and the Xewfoundland flagswere placed eonsp' -uoualy in the foreground.One of the men gave an address of welcome,e:>tprening for the people of St. Anthony theirpleasu re in having Dr. and Mt s. Grenfdl back.He rev iewed the work of past years and saidthat they one and all wanted to do all theycould to furt he r the Mission work, as theycould never repa y Dr. Grenfell for all he haddone for the m. I t was so nicely done. Dr.Grenfell was deeply moved. It was certainlytouching to see the crowd. Every one fromthe eldest down to the children of twelve yearsof all:e were there and many represented set­t1C'mCnU miles away.

Dr. Grenfe ll then spoke. He told bow much

,08 AMONG T HE DEEP-SEA FIS HE RS

he had enjoyed working with the people of theCoast; told them how much Ihty had donefor him, and expressed the wish that he mightbe spared for more )"eilfS of service with them.He spoke of the voluntee rs and paid workerswho had come yearly; showed what it hadmean t to have tbeir help, and ended by sayingtha t he felt the biggest thing in lift was tohav e something wor th while to do an ti the n to

do it .In th e aud ience was a cle rgy man of the Epis­

cupal Church. He arose and aske d if hemight be a llowed to speak. He is a midd le­aged man, who had cataract g ro ..... ing eve r hiseyes and two weeks before, had come to 51.Ant hony Hospital. where Dr. Andrews hadsuccessfully operated OIl his C)"Cs. He toldhow, as a young man, he was on the Labradorwben Dr. Grenfell first landed; said he hadfollo .....ed the Doctor's work with illt~l'\"st, littledreaming that he wou ld CO~ as a pa tienthimse lf, Then he paid a glowing tribute tothe hospital, to the doctors and nurses, andsaid that the hono red na me of Gre nfe ll wouldlive fo r centu ries as an exam ple of a life ofse rvice of Christ working th rough a loyal anddevoted servant.

After the speeches there were games, dane­ing, and refreshments-punch and cake. Dr .Grmfell went about, spoke with every one, metnewcomers and rene....ed o ld acquaintances.

The follo wing day, just at six, th ree men­two of the St. Alllhooy "wops," and a doctorfor Spotted Islands-and I started off on theschooner for the Xorth, our plan being to goto Car twright, Indian Harbor and North Wes tRiver .

Th e wea th er has been idea l, and the sea ca lmall the way. I have the capta in's bunk in theUIIC cabin, the two "W OIJS" sleep in another andthe captain and mate in a third. T he four this filled with a ll manne r of odds and ends ofrope, sailclot h and what nets.

\\'e have our meals in the fo recastle whichis a triangular-shaped room in the bow of theboa t, and is most compact. The table is in thecenter, with a bench on each side. A stole inthe comer makes the room as hot a.s a furnace,and as the on ly means of ventilation is throughthe hatchway and a hole in the ceiling, it getsvery stuffy-that is why I have had most ofmy meals served on deck.

\ \' e reached Spotted Is lands Sund ay 1II0rn·

ing, and as these men never t rave l on S unday(unle ss necessa ry ) we anchored out ill the runand went asho re. TI M:: two doctors were great lysur pr-ised at our arr-ival.

After dinner , quite a few people came in towelcome me back and afterward I visite d

every house. So many litt le onrs have ar riveddu ring the pasl two years, and how they hadgrown! It was fun talking over old times.In the evening the usual Sund:.lY ~g serviceW:.lS held, then we came back to the schooner.

We were becalmed a good part of :Monday,but finally went a short distance, to BlackT ickle. T here the men went off j igg ing(ca tching cod on a baited line) and were quitesuccess ful. A man on the schooner gave themen two Ires h sa lmon so we are well stockedwith sea food.

Yester day we got under way ea rly, and bythe aid of th e moto r boat reac hed Ca rt wr ightlate yesterday afternoon. Our skipper is \Vil­[iam Robe rts fro m Twjllingate, of stocky bui ld,good heigh t, a kindly, smil ing Iace, fair hai rand very blue eyes. I have never seen suchblue C').~ as I have seen on this coas t-theyare as blue as the bluest sky, or .sea-a remark­ably vivid hue.

We had eoesi derable freight fo r the Mudd yBay Schoo l, so asho re we went to Rev.Gord on 's to see abo ut land ing it. The Gor­dons were very mu ch surpr ised to see us. Itwas alm ost tea ti me and they invited us tosta y ashore , which we were de lighted to do.Miss Conn, one of the teachers from the schoo lwas there and Miss H epburn- my frien d who..cas :.II St. Ant hony last summer.

After supper we all went over in <l motorboat to the school and ~Iiss Hepburn sho .....edme tbe result of her winter's work. She hastacgbt these people to make most del ight fu ltoys, walking sticks with caned handks; hashad them make fascinating dickeys with ern­broidered pocke ts, or embro idered bands forth e hood and sleeves. A fr iend wanted :.I wh iledickey so I have chosen one of these for her .

It is t r immed with red and black braid andhas an old-fashioned patt ern worked out incolo red silks on the pocket. I shall ha ve whiteAr~tic ha re put on it. I do hope she will beplea sed .

The boys at the school had made a mos t in­teresting wooden doll, a ll jointed, and dressedin sealskin ca~sock and boots. Then there was:.I model komalik with a wooden spea r, gunand snowshoes lashed upon it, and four woodendogs, very lifeli ke. Well, I just had to buythem" so I ha ve th em to bring home.

Thehills nea r at hand looked sage green ; th e hillsbeyond had a bluish green cast over them andeach succeeding line of hills looked as thoughthey wer e veiled by the most exqui site chiffonof tint s o f sea blue. The sunset was glorious- brilliant rose color envel oping all the west­em sky and reflected in the bay . After thesun had set completely ther e was still the rosyand violet hues over the hillsides; some onecalled it th e "Alpine glow ." It was glo riou s'

About midnight we reached Cartwright; theman in charge of Porter's Post, Mr. Udle, in­vited Miss Hepburn and me to his home. Themagi strate and Mr .

IN MEMORIAM NURSE JEAN S. DALZELL

AL ETT ER at noon fr om St . Anthonytold me of the terr ible anxi ety the)'were all undergoing. Mis s Dalzell

had suddenly fa inted in the operat ing room,when the old hospital, over-c rowded and und er­staffed, with a long run of an xious cases and110 modern conven iences , was tax ing everyone's stre ngth to the limit. An immediat e ex ­ami nation showed an ambulato ry lobar pneu ­monia, frum which Miss Dal zell , tho ugh shemade a truly ga llant fight for li fe, neverrallied. She died Oc tober 16.

A beautiful, capab le, unselfish, hig hly-t rainedlife lost to the corner of the worl d where itwas so badly needed and bravely being given.Dr. Curtis, ami those who have seen the nur semore oft ...n than I, at her work , and whoknow better the heauti ful littl e re velatio ns ofher inmos t soul that she let others see dur ingthe days of st ress and str a in, will be bett erable to record this I do know. Miss Dalzell

earn ed the love of all those she came in con­tact with , and she. her self , stood that greatesttest of all love, she laid down her life for herfrie nds OIl our far-off coast . H er life has notbeen lost . It ha s been saved. For her devo­tion and self-forgetf ulness live on in our midstto ner ve us to higher ideal s of the beauty ofservice in humble thin gs.

Th e nrw hospital, we hope, will he finishednext year. \Ve have wor ked ha rd for it andno 0 111' looked more eager ly forward thanNurse Dalz ell to the stafT having a betterchance to work, and our people a bette r chanceto get well in the beau tifu l new bui lding tha tMr. Delan o has devise d for us. \Vhether thestr-ain being so much less would have turn edthe balance in uur favor it is fortuna tely notIkJssible to know-it is the Lord who givet hand taket h away in the last issue .

We, who remain, must strive to be worthyof the beautif ul spirit tha t was with us.

A HAPPY AFTERNOON WITH OUR LITTLE FRIENDSFROM THE HOSPITAL

~R weeks we had been wantin g tor .gi\-e ourselves a tr eat. Rut those

things called, " Ma ile rs of Impo r-tance," seemed alway s to he in th e w ay

every t ime we wanted to run off downthe road way ant! have a party withLe ster, Willis, Mary Jane and the rest of th elitt le g rou p tha t played so bravely about thehospita l lawn. "Bra vely", well, to be sure,Lester, nor Mary Jane nor Billy nor any ofthem, for that matt er , would haY("known whatyou were talking abou t. For w.hat ha ve

crutc hes and hea vy plaster cas ts On chest s andlegs to do with th ings anyway, if yo u arehappy ? But , a party, that wa s a bit special.

Qua int, shy Phyl lis stood very still as thefaded cotto n dress was put 011. But, some­how, it did look di fferent since it wa s put onhy nurse especially fo r the par ty. And fromsomewhere, Phylli s had caught a tiny smi lethat had decided to stay capt ive, And ~f ary

Jan~mostly she smi led with her eyes. Shestood, her happiness sort of speaking out loudin spite of herself as the patched dress wenton. T hen, dai ntily, she pulled ou t her skirtsand tripped off dow n the hall . A mere partydress of silk or chi ffon could never have beenthe same.

Th en the "wo ps" came up to the ward andthe children tha t could not walk even withcrutches were carried on their big sho ultkrsup to the bunga low, whe re a fire burned inthe grate and a tab le was set with good thing sto eat . At each place W OlS a little packagedone up in colored crepe paper that ju st had

10 be peeped into. Then , some one said, "S hutyour eyes," and th ough they did not thinkthey had them shut har dly a second, somet hinghad happened, for each [ouud on his head, atall , pointed, paper cap o f blu e, and pink andyellow. And even littl e Ph ylli s ha d to be gay.Now , best of all, ice crea m with a red che rr yfor each one,

Ga mes and story time next . All too soonthe "WOP!" came to take the chil d ren backto the hospita l. In fro m the sea 'sad comethe mist and rain, but neve r WOlS there sobrigh t a procession. Crutches and colored caps

and happy litt le faces all went down throughthe mist to the hospital and to the kind nu rseswaiting to take them off to sleep)·-land.

REMI NISCENCES OF "A T EN CREW"

...

ACT IN G upo n the sllgge,ti( :ll that I re­view for the benefit of yourself andany others who may be interested the

connection of my uncle arnl myse lf with theGmlfell ~I i s s : u ,l , I hale solicited the aid ofthnse Irmiliar wi h past dates, and find thatit is j usr twenty ye:I:"S to the very month sincewe first came ill conta-t 1\ ith Dr. Grenfelland our interest was iuitiatc.l ill h:~ work.

T o be exact. it W ,IS Xlarch &:I, 1!)O5, \11ICI1

Dr. Gren fell first came to Monson at the in­vitat ion of my uncle to speak to the stu dentsof the local acad emy. Even prev ious to this,howe ver , I had known of him and his wor kthr ough a frend who ha d been in Labrador ona scientific mission. ami his stories of thecountry rnd the work of the mission had al­way's fasci nate d me.

In IQ:lS, however, uur direr! contact began.At that time my uncle had a class of boys inour local Sun day school who were anxious tofoster some part icular interest. Nothing couldha ve been more natural, therefore, thr;11 thatwe ~hould have taken fo r that particular inter ­est the work of D r. Gre nf ell, We had seenand hear d the man himself, had thrilled to hisstory. and , indeed, his call was such that itmet ready response f rom us. For the followingChri stmas, theref ore, we undertook to packa box of games and toys for the children ofth e M ission, and on the evening of September13, 1905, we met to pack and ship our firstcontr ibutio n to the Mission's work. From thatda te on we fr equently made donations, eitherthe accumula ted money f rom our weekly col­lections, or some extr a for some particularpurp ose.

P revious to this time the question of aname for our class presented itself , and stim ­ula ted to a certain degr ee by tbc example ofDr. Gr en fell in his choice of mottoes andnames, we contr-ived to piece togethcr thefirst ini tials of the given na mes of the boy'sinto the name "A Ten Crew," and it wasunder thi s captio n that we continued ouractivit ies.

In April, 1907, Dr. Grenfell again came toMonson to speak. T his time he spoke beforea men 's organization in the chur ch and laterwa s entertai ned by my uncle. At th is timewe boys ini tia ted the Doctor into our lit t lesociety and present ed him with a pin. I ofte nwonder wheth er the Doctor sti ll has this pin

"A TF.N CREW " AN D DR. GRENfELL

ill his possession. To us it was a very pr oudmoment to think that onc of D r. Grenf ell 'scharacte- and persona lity sho uld be willing tohe num bered among us, and in th inking backon tha t occasion I can very vividly feel theth rill which I had when hc accepted the pinand ill a very informal way told liS what itshou ld mean to us and to him.

Of course, in those days we were all qui teyoung, and our activities had to be confinedmore or less to the cha ract er of wor k andinterest whi ch small boys could handl e. Some ­time duri ng this period we undert ook to main ­tain a cot in the St. Ant hony hospita l andwith great care we ha ll a pla card made tohang at the head of the bed. Th is cot, to thebest of my belief, bas been maintained inthe name of "A Ten Crew," to the presentday, thanks to th e generosi ty of my uncle .

It is a good many years since our organiza­tion broke up and its memhers hav e traveledto many par ts since tbeu, but it is plea sing torealize that thc work wh ich we began so manyyears ago is st ill continuing.

In the spr ing of 191I. I recall very vividlythat someone made the suggestion that some­time I go to the Mission as a volunteer. Wordhad been rece ived tha t the Mi ssion was ac­cept ing the services of students for summer

work, and had I rea lized that I could havegone that particular summer, 1 think nothingwould M.\'C stopped me, particularly as myambitions along that line met ready mcourage­ment from my uncle, \Ve had always beeninteres ted in the: Mi.ssion 0101 a distan ce andnow it seemed that we might, through me,be intC'ft' 5tetl in it by actual contact.

In the spring of J912, therefore, I made ap­plicatiOn to go and was accepted, much to myj oy. Just as soon as college closed I remem­ber going to Boston and taking the boat fo rH ali fax. T here I went by train to Lewis­port and on the way mel a young P rincetonman who was also headed for St. Anthony. Asmight have been expected on the pa rt ofnovices going to Newfoundland . fate was withus, and, not knowing how to lose connect ions,we were very fortunate and made connectionsat e..."ery point. so that fi...'e days after we leftBoston we arrived at St. Anthony .

I believe we were the first student volun­teer s, otherw ise known as "wop s," who ar­rived that year . we wer e quart ered in thelibra ry .....hich then occupied the second floorof the schoolhouse, and I remember very wellthe first tTM>ming after ou r arr ival we weregre eted with .....hoops and yells by a contingentfro m the orphanage who had come to awakenDr . Delatour . It is a question in my mindwho " .....ere the more surp rised-the chi ldrenor ourse lves : they were not expecting newarri vals, as we had arrived duri ng the ni,h tpreviou s, and we were certainly not expectingto be roused in such boiste rous fashion" We

made friends very quickly , howe ver, and socccame to know each othe r by name .

II is pleasant to recall that it .....as on thatmornin g I first saw Caleb Rose. He attractedme then, and I have always been particularl,.interested in his later career. I bave not seenhim for eleven years now, except as I occa­sionally SC'C his picture , bu t I very well remere­ber the cheery liule lad who greeted me 00

that parti cula r day .Di rectly afte r breakfast .....e .....ere placed in

charge of Alex Sims, .....ho set UI to wor k.T hat first day we were to meet a good lynumber of the people who have made theMission fa mous, among them Dr . L itt le, MissSto rrs and Mrs . Grenfe ll.

Th e summer went very quickly. My ownactivi ties va ried from milking il founda tionfor the X-ray room and a drainage ditchfrom the orphanage to help:ng in the office,coll«:ting the mai l, and finally, as teacher ,substituting for Dr . Delatour, .....ho found hisactivities too confining to de...-ote much time10 the littl e class which he had organized .

It is rather inte resting to recall that in thisclass were the two E vans boys, Caleb Roseand Lew Hancock. Three of these boys havesince been ginn oppor tunities in the Statesand have demonstrated beyond shad ow ofa doubt thei r merits .

One instance of that particular summer'sexpe rience is wort hy of note. T .....o of us hadgraduated from the library in the school toprivate quarters in the cupola. Here we werevery exclusi ve. On a Sat urday nigh t in late

AMONG TilE DEEP-SEA FISHERS "7

August I sudden ly became violently ill. Itwas not Ion t before my roommate was aro used,and he in turn brought assistance from belowin th e per son of Dr. n...latour. The natureof the attack was such thaI everyone felt im­mediate aClion was n{'{"~-a rl . Acrontinglya stret~h...r was obtain ...d...nd in I~ middle ofth ... nitl;hl I was horne provtrate fro m theschoo l 10 the hospital. ov e r the muddy path

which seemed Ilanked hy heaving .::ank andprowlin:: dogs. It was a fearso me journey.but once arrived all'] in Dr. Litt le's hands, re­lief was starred. T he balance of that nightI spent in the men's ward, bUI the f~l1Qw ing

day I was tr ansferr ed from there to- a littl epriv ate roo m wher e was locat ed the " TenCrew" co t. and I was the proud occupant ofthat cot for the next two or th ree days.

Fortunately, the mild atta ck o f appendicitiswhich had la id me low was cure d sufficie ntlyto avoid an opera tion. I say fortu nately. fo rundoubtedly had I been operated upon it wouldhave merely th rown an added burden upon thehospital faci lities. So far as my own selfishinterc§ts. howeve r, were concerned I sometimesthink it was unfortunate Ihl'll tbe work wasnot done at that time.

Befo re that first ' summer was over I too ka trip down the Labrador coast <If),1 there paida brief visit at Dr. Paddon's headquarters.He had CO11M:' out tha t summer and I had pre­viously had the pleasure of greeting him inSt. Anthony on his way north. The HalT ofthe Ind ian Har bor hospita l that year consistedo f Dr. Paddon and Mrs. Paddon, who wasthen "tiss Gilchr ist, and my friend Fr ankBabbott .

I re tu rned home directl y from the tripnorth. but kept in act ive contac t with thingsat St . Anth ony through regu lar corres pondencewith severa l of the -boys who had been inmy class.

As the fa ll wore OIl, howeve r, interest inour correspon dence l:lgged somew hat on thepart o f many of the boys, but Lew Hancockcontinued 10 answe r th... leuers which I wro tehim. I well reme mber a jener which I re­ceived f rom him in Apr-il, 19 13. which partic­ularly pleased me and which I promptly took10 my uncle, thinki ng he would I~ interested .Lill ie did I think. howeve r, that from thatdate my interest in thin~s pertdning to theMission would be grea tly augmented by hisproposal tha t we should undertake to bringLew 10 the Slates.

The second year I lef t b)" rail for Halifax.picking up my co llege roommate in Hangar .We le ft Ho:lifa lt by boat with every intentio nof laking a trip down the Labra dor fr om St.j ohn's . Th ese plans, however, were not to becar r ied out as my tr aveling com panion wastoo much overcome by the sea tr ip to warrantgoing fur ther .

I shall never forget the tri p, therefore,which I took f rom 51. John's to Ba tt le Har ­bor. T he steamer Kviz was j ust passing outof lhe Narrows when the H ali fax boat carneinto St. John's harbor. In order to avoidwailing two weeks for the return of the KYLE,I was oblill"ed to take the train fo r Carbon­nea r , I was alone, it was raining , and thetrains were crowded. Very 5000 after we hadgotten a .....ay. I found myself in the mail com­partment of the train. T here I joined in ron­

\'ersation with the mailman, who had losta limb in sen-ice, a member of the !\ewfound­land Parliament, who was a cont ractor, andhis journeyman plumber. We talked busi lyuntil we reac hed our dest ina tion , about mid­nigh t.

I was a stra nger and .....as tot a Il l' unac­quaint ed with the town. My good fr iellds onthe trai n, therefor e. look me under thei r wing sand piloted me to the only hotel in the village.There the propr ietor fed us. and when it carnetime to re tire, as his inn w as full, my frie ndthe mailman gave up his bed in or der that Imight ha ve a place to sleep, he going to bunkwith anot her.

T he next morning at four o'cloc k theK vr.r's whistle blew in the harbor, and muchto my amazement, when I had dressed andprepared to make my departu re, I Found myfrienl1s of the evening before already dre ssedand 011 hand to hid me bo'l VO)·ogt. I haveoftm thougbt of that partjcular evening andwondered 110"," many of us ill this COlllltrywould have done likewise for the strangerwith in our gates.

F rom Ca rbor mear I went to Bail ie Harborlhr ough the floe ice, which had remained so

UTILE BAY ISLANlJS, NEWroUNDLAND

late that season, and on the return from BattleHarbor to St. Anthony, a few days later, I hadthe pleasure of seeing the Newfoundland fish­ing fled crossing the Straits on their waynorth, the ice having only ' a few hOUTS previ­ously opened the way.

Arrangements were very easily made withMr. Hancock to have Lew come south in timeto start school, and my friend Dr. Delatcuragreed to act as pilot and guardian for him.

These arrangements done, 1 took the nextsteamer for home, as my late traveling com­panian had been left behind in 51. John's andwas awaiting my return.

Some time later, in September of that year,1913. after college had hegun, I had a wirestating that Lew would be ar riving in Bostonon a certain night by train from the Provinces.I was on hand to meet him, and I plainlyremember the series of thrills which he wentthrough on his arrival in Boston.

Ffrst, we took him upstairs to get a train.Almost before he knew it he was climbingmore stairs to get on to the street. \Ve pro­ceeded from there to Young's Hotel, which Iexpect to his unsophisticated mind was great lyakin to a palacc ; there, after suitab le arrange­ments had been made, he was led into an eleva­tor for the first time ami whisked to a floorseveral stories above. Having been on thetrain all day and bcil'g none too clean, weordered the la,1 to take a hath; and this alsowas an entirely new experience. I often havewondered what were' the mental reactions ofthat mind. Outwardly he showed little emo­tion, but it was not difficult to see that thefewas turmoil within.

The following day, after outfitting the ladwith new clothes, we headed for howe, andI feel that right here a record should be noted

which I believe is unique in accomplishment.Lew was subjected to an ora l examination

by the superintendent of schools in Monsonbefore he was permitted to enter. His oralexamination disclosed him fitted for the fourthgrade. He was twelve years old at the time.Before the end of that scholastic year he hadpassed the work of the fourth, fifth and sixt hgrades. T he following summer he and I re­turned to St. Anthony and I managed to tutorhim through most of the work of the seventhgrade, so that the following fall he enteredthe eighth grade in the public schools. Thatyear he confined his activities to the workof that particular grade, but the followingsummer he went to the Y.M.e.A. camp atBecket, Mass., and there was tutored throughthe work of the ninth grade; the followingfall, two years after his first arrival in theStates, he entered the local academy. I believethis is a record which few have equaled andstands as an everlasting testimony of the abil­ity of at least one of the sons of New­foundland.

In the spring of 1914 I was in school inBoston and it so happened that I chanced tomeet Mrs. Grenfell on the street. She madea very tempting offer to me to go to theMlssion and help her with a new moving pic­ture camera which she had bought the winterbefore, and although I had no definite idea ofgoing to Newfoundland that year, I consentedunder the spur of this offer. Accordingly,early in June I again set out for the Missionand arrived promptly. I had on this occasionthe company of Lew, whom I was pilotinghome once more.

This summer was of par-ticular interest fora number of reasons. One was that the Mis­sion received an official visit from the Du ke

AMONG THE DEEP-S EA FISHERS n.of Connilught . This W;P,I a gala event to allJoyal British subj«u in SL Anthon,. , a! in­deed it was to us who profe ss to scorn roy­alt y. Little did we th ink at the t ime thatwithin a few short .....eeks the same companyof the Loyal Legion of Frontiersmen whichacted as a guard of honor for the royal visi­tor would be mustered ioto service in theGreat w ar.

Th e H.M.S. E SSEX which bore the honoredguest had bUI sbortfy left the harbo r befo renews o f t he outbreak of the .....ar terminateda trip of Inspection. and the whole count rysideno longer thought of other than war . Th etdl"gr.1ph had ju st been installed in St. An ­thony, and for the first few .....eeks ne.....s con­sisted very largely of greatly exaggerated re­ports of raid s and battle s, the next day to befollowed by equally exten sive denials of thesereports and an accumulat ion of new thrill sReport s were received fro m neighbor-ing har ­bon, where fishermen were sure they had seenra iding Gt rmans, and this , coupled with thehighly colored re port s received by tele-gTaph,kept the harbor more or less in a stale ofexcit ement.

Th ese wore off, however, to ward the begin­ning of Sep tember, and Mrs. Grenfe ll deter ­mined to lake a trip down the coast as far asNain. Accompanying us were Miss Hall oway ,of St . John 's, and John Dishy, who had spentthe previous ..... intt r at St. Anthony. I expectour ru ctions on that trip .....ere very muchthe same as those of anyone else uking thejourney fo r the first time. Everyt hing wasnew and wonderfu l, and with the steamer

very larg d,. to ou rselves, we tr aveled underthe most favorable auspices. E verywheremen were anx ious for news of the war andit was thrill ing to SI"e the patriotism displayedon every hand.

On tha t tri p we had the pleasure of cominginto very intimat e touch with Mr . and Mrs.Perritt, who ~ all" us a very interesting insightinto the work of the Mora vian missionaries,among whom they had labored upward offifteen to t wenty yean.

W ith the end of the summer of 1914 my..ctive connection with the ~Iission ceased, butsince that time I have watched the develop­ment of Lew, with keen interest and a feelingof deep gratitude that with my help he hashad the opportunity 10 develop the vel'}' fineman hood to which he has grown .

With the car es of business my contact hasbecome more casual, but I try to grasp everyoppo rtunit y to renew old acquaintances and re­kindle the interest \\'hich was once so keen. Asopportunity has offered and occasion arisen,I have endeavored to tell the story of the~Iiss ion to various gro ups, here and ther e, butwhether or not my efforts have brought re­sults, either materially or other wise, I haveno way of knowing.

I can say this, however, that with the reotelling of the story and the reviewing of mypictur es, certainly I, for one, have gained muchpleasure.

I hope very much the Association of theGrenfell Alumni may flourish, and )'ou mayrest assured that wheneve r possible I shal l bein attendance at their dinners.

WILFRED T. GRENFELL SCHOOL. ST. ANTHONY

By R UT H B. WYATT. P al NCI PAL

Tti RO l 'GH the D~[r-S[A FISIIt:JlS I want1 to tell of the work carried on at the

Wilf red T. Grenfdl School, which agrea t many of its readers arc helping tofinance. The past winter there were enro lledabout 1 10 children.

We have a splendid school building, withfour class rooms, manual training and domesticscience rooms and an office. On the top flooris the large , at tra ctive audi tori um, where wehold assembly; here, too, the 00)'5 and girlshold the concerts, which they love to (i:ive.

During the winter Mr. Clar k, a young manfr om Brahat, Newfo undland, who has beeneducated in the States for two winters, taugh tthe manual trai ning classes. His work withthe children shows his enthusiasm and keeninterest in what he is doing, The ex hibit[rom the little workshop, shown at commu­nity affairs. has won much pr-aise from theparents. J,[r. Dark will be: with the schoolanother winte r.

Our domestic science work, carried on byMiss Elisabeth Vilas, a graduate of ChicagoUniversity, whose work has not only been verypractical and useful in the classroom, but willhave a happy influence in the homes of thechildren represented in her classes. It has beenone of the greatest of tragedies to a gir l whenfor some reason she has had to miss her cock­ing class, and vel')' often "what we made incooking class today" has been an importanttheme for conversatio n in the home. MissVilas also has taught sewing, and the art iclesmade have been sold to the girls at cost. T hissame practice has obtained in the ManualT s-aining Department, and funds from the twodepartments have been turned into the school.Over !:..S have been received from this work.M i ~s Dorothy Blake, of Boston, has been

with the school for two winters. Her class...·ork in the fifth and sixth grades, as wellas in handwork and drawing, could not havebem improved, Miss Blake has had a help­Iul attitude in all school activities and hasbeen \'ery generous with ht.-r means. She has1:1101 personal interest ill the home life ofthe children, and the parents, as well as thechildren, will miss her next year.

Th e third and fourt h grades have beentauiht by Miss Violet Walter, who ca me tous from New York City. For two summers

previous she had been teaching in White Bay.The children wert blessed to have such ate-acher. l'ndtr bee leadership they haveshown what can be done in these grades, Shehas also been the school pianist and has helpedwith the music in the school.

Miss ~[ary Wilcox, a girl from Eng lee,Newfo undland, has taught the first two gra desfor two years. He r hands have hem full , forther e have been over 40 pupils in these twoclasses this year. In spite o f difficult ies shehas done very fine work. In the near futu rewe are hoping to have a kindergart en teacher ,

Th e upper grades were taught by the prjn­cipal. We have used the Jun ior H igh Schoolmethod with the ninth grade. Seven stud01hwwl take P rimaries and two P reliminaries-s-ex­aminatjons giveu h}" the Colony. These cor­respond to the eighth and nint h grades in theUnited States.

Assembly has been held twice a week, whenthe entire school marches to our hall. Dif·ferent members of the staff and friends ofthe school have been invited to speak to theoo,.·s and girls. and we feel this bas been agreat help and inspiration to them. Not onlyhave the grown people done this, bUI the chit­dren also, with thei r songs and recita tions, havehelped to make these chapel services a success.

One of the most interesti ng things that isdone is the training of the children for playsand concer ts . T hey have a real gi ft fo r actingand ar e enthusiastic over any part assigned .We have given three programs, one of themon Dr . Grenft ll's birthday, or Found er's Day.

Once a month a " Mothers' Meeting" hasbeen held to ta lk over with the mothers thespecial proble ms of the children. Tw ice dur ­ing the winter we have entertained the fathersand mothers. These were delightful par ties,at which we all played games together andref reshments were served .

Dr. Curtis has shown deep interest in allour plans and has been an inspiration toteachers and children alike, to work for hig~t

standards in the Grenfell Schoo l.And lastly, this report would be incomplete

if we did not mention "Uncle David" Fowler,our janitor. lie has been so falith ful andthought ful of our needs. It would be hardto find another "Uncle David." T eachees andpupil. all love him for his kindness to us. Weshall never forg et his "Good Morning, Miss."

All of the staff and the harbor folks hadbeen looki ng forw ard the bett er part of thewinte r to the day when we would eelebrateSports' Day.

Our blindman's race provedra ther disastrous in that one of the boys ra nblindly into the WoP, which IUS frozen inthe: ice near-by. He suffered a complete knock­ou t, with contusions of the face, necessitatinghis removal to the hospital for a day. StanPatey, one of the popular harbor boys, provedvictorious in this race. Dr .

June 27, 1925. A lovely morning, Mr. Wil­Iiams, the writer and photog rapher for theNat iona l Geographic Society has been on deckdisc ussing with me some of his impres­sions of a wor ld which he knows as few do.A missiona ry worker for some years at BeirutCol lege, and his wife also a missionary forseveral years in China, he is fu lly qualified toapprec iate the spiri tual va lues of the fo rces atwork. It rejoiced me grea tly to realize hehad been selecte d for so impo rta nt a post ashis present one. Wha t a very important mis­sionary work the NalWniJl Geographic Mag­a.:;ine is doing today, teach ing America and theworl d to know abou t its neighbor s, And theylike the dose-the circulation keeps rising anda million copies go ou t now. You can't fightyou r next door neighbor, as you might beinclined to "heave half a bric k at the stranger,"and if you know the other fellow , you willsym pathize a bit with him and not want tokill him quite so bad ly. To induce the pub­lic to enjoy absorbing, valuab le knowledge isa missionary act. \Vhen good-books are thebest sellers, and those that leave us better forhaving read them are among the list of "booksto read on your vacation," a great dea l willhave been accomplished, and we shall still haveall th e humor of life,

I can't help th inking that our radio fr iendsare missionaries also; not only, because therad io rea lly does cultivate the habit of pa­t ience and other saint ly virtues before one cansit opposite a mouth piece, and shout out a lotof lett er s, and go on good- hurnoredly calling"George," or "Mary" into space, without get­ting any answer ; but also, because it helpsyo u to know uther people, and to keep yourfinge r a bit better on the pulses of your fe l­low creatures. It migh t an d probab ly willhelp towards the desirable end of a commonlanguage for all mankind . In its own smallway that was the reason I'll' let our little book"Yourself and Your Body" go to press. Itwas an att empt to put tr uths we shou ld kn owabout our bodily machines in eve ryday lao-

guage in a way thai the world wou ld readthem.

Captain Mac­Millan has turned in fo r a nap to be ready,possihly, for a da rk night and fog as we getamung the slub icc that we expect to meetafter midnight, The engine is chug, chug,chug"dng away, and we are hur rying alongover an almost calm sea. Isn't it a par ab leIrom life? We don't know what will happento us in the fog ahead. \Ve don 't know any­thing. But all analogy says "It is a ll O.K.Just keep doing your job, and what is bes tonly lies ahead ."

The mate has this moment come down. Heis laying off some courses, A man f rom theconning barrel at the masthead has sig htedthe tops of cliffs, "just where they should he,"on the starboard bow. Faith is a great thi ng.If we had waited, doing nothing, becaus e wecouldn't see ahead, we shou ld have accom­plishe d nothing. God is on H is- throne. Letus be content to walk in faith, and forg etthat we ever claimed infallibil ity. More thingswill be accomplished that way.

6 P ..M. it carne in very th ick, and we ranin on one of the islands in the mouth of Bayof Islands; so, as the wind was freshening,Capt. Mac Millan put the ship out nor ther ly,and we ran off some fifteen miles to sea, Inthe morning a very uncomfortable head lopwas hampering the boat's progress, the windalso being ahead, though slight, and the main­sail having been stowed, as the ro lling made itbang about uselessly.

\Ve were a long while approaching land , butthe ever increasing numbe r of puffins andpetrels made us certain we were getting near,though the fog remained as thick as sou pnothing could he made out . About 10 o'cloc kMacMillan sighted land on the bow. He hasa particularly keen sight and I confess Icould not follow his perception of the islands.Twice today he recognized land quicker thanI, which shows he must have a gift tha t way,or I must be getting old-for I have cruisedthis coast for thir ty years. We recog nizedI'erroquet Is lands, by the litera lly thousand supon thousands of birds that blackened thewater in places, and at last picking up Green­ley Island fog- horn ran on down and anchoredoff our own litt le 'Mission station of Fort eau.I feel sure tha t this concession was made onaccount of my eagerness to visit Miss Ferr is,ami the friends whom 1 have not seen foreighteen months.

Off one cape, where aheavy swe ll was heating, we passed clo se to twomen in oil clothes workin g awa y at thc it linesin the fog and ro llers as calmly as an ordina ryclerk would at addin g up figures on a rhree­legged stool. "T hai'S the way to make men,"Sli d one of our eTCW, and one cou ldn' t bUIag ree with him .

As we passed Cape Char les, Captain Mac­~( il1an handed the t ilk r to me, as being fa mil­ia r with the somew hat intr icate run betweenIndian Isl and and Assizes. Our smallest mem­ber, Kenneth Raw son, a par ticular-ly huskyboy fr om Chicago and the H ill Schoo l, didthe actua l stee r ing. There was great specula­tion as to wheth er the PtAltV would be inBattle Harbor befo re us, but as we roundedthe last cliff no such good for tune awaited us.

Nur se W illiam s, Mr s. S urls, Dr. S ur ls andmany of the staff arou nd th e vi llage ga ve usa warm welcome. Battle Hospital had on lyju st hem opened, as the sta ff had arr ived but afew days befo re.

We had passed many icebergs, and scm moresnow on the land than is usual so late in theyear. T hi greatly interested the new mem­ben of the crew, especia lly the younger ones.One able Ieaman, the son of Dr. Sa lmon, ofmental hyg iene fame, a delightf ul lad , wasJack-of -all-trades, and ran us to the wharf,where we were soon amo ng many f r iends.Don't we wish we had such a bea ut ifu l steelIH.at for our doctor to use among thin ice !

It seemed to add a tinge of sadnus to theron trast of this co ld count ry with the sunnyclimes we had corne fr om, to find alre.dy twopatient s fight ing wha t seemed to be a losingba tt le with death in the hosp ital. Dr. Surlsand Dr . Trimble had only ar rived four daysago, and though Miss Will iams had opened thehospita l, there is much to be done wilh ahalf -)-o. r open build ing.

Il4ly 2, 1925. It ha s hem an absolutely fullday. Dr . S urls is tr y ing a treatment for thelitt le perit onit is gir l, justifi ed to him by hisnewer knowled ge from the schools-whichseems to us a venture. She is holding herown. The fisherma n with Bright's disease is,I fear , fai lina:.

The "wops," th is yea r, include Draper Lew is 'of Pr inceton, who was here last )-eilr ; !.In._Su rfs, the doctor' s moth er , is rrnltron-a realjob-but one she is uniquely fitted fo r. An­othe r "wo p" is son of Mr . Shi pman, of And ­over, in whose church at Andover, ~rassachu·

Miss William s has g iven me much time to­day. Her mother died during the winter andshe must return home. I have already visitedhalf a dozen houses of our people, among themmany that for two years she has served sowell. Ju st as when Mrs. Knapp left us twoyear s ago, they are all terribl y disconsolate .Both Miss Williams and Mrs . Knapp hankft thei r impress deep in the heart s of ourpeople ; their boundless energy, cou rage andendura nce a re cha racteristics these peopleworsh ip ; they visit bur homes and love us,and we return it. \\"bat matters their men talatt itude to anyth ing i f in their hea rts dwellsthat love of God which a lone qua lifies anyhuman being to have hope o f Christ's " \Velldone"? \\lho, who has himself not enduredreal privati ons for no reward but that of thejoy of walking in His foot steps, dare sit injudgment on those who, like their Master atper sona l sac r ifice and ofte n in danger , "goa bout do illg good"} Wh y do we Quarrel overthings He never emphas ized? "We ll done"and not well bel ieved surely commends itselfsti ll to H im who so joved us that He a rneand lived among us.

Il4ly J , 1925. Th e young fisherma n has be­come worse. T he agl"llt, Mr. Lover idge,kindly s-ent JO miles to fetch the wife, motherand fat her. Th eir g rief is ha rd to witness. Th elittle g irl is bette r. She has had no food bymouth since Sunda y last - six days ago-hutis conscious and takin g notice. " I wants abone (hun ), nurse," she sa id this morning;almost her first words when I went into theward . Xur se Ton gri ng, who wa s watch ingthe case, sa id, ~\Vhat does she mean ?" " Iwants it cooked in the even," came: in a feeblewail from the bed. A great sign, she washlDlg ry ! Hut she is far fro m out of danger .It was rea lly fine to know tha t th e pat jentsnea r the firs t thing each morni ng ask a fter theones in danger. It is not a custom 1 havenoticed in many places. I wondered if I wouldshow that spir it, if I wer e suffering.

Th e P EARY has ar r ived, and Ca ptain ~Iac ­

But smaller boats a re fa r better in loose icepacks, though with a man like Captai n St eeleat the helm she is "sa fe as some hou ses,"Ea sy to believe, if you have just visited Yoko­hama and T okyo. as we ha ve.

As the men ha ve j ust begun to fish,and had to get the ir ou tfit fo r summer-andthe war result s ha ve left us here very do ubtf ulwhether we did win the war o r net, owing tothe high cos t of living- they have no moneywhatever. The Flight Com mander of th ePEAl \' , who .....as watc hing the work with muchsympathy.. at once offered to preach the kindof orthodoxy which Chr ist would commend inth is case-and came ashore at night with $100

T he H OME has a rrived an d landed fourmore patien ts, together with D r. Cohen, the­denti st, and two more lady workersc- MissRobinson and ~li s s GibbollS, the latte r a greatf r imd of ou r beloved Marg ar et Pei rce.

I am Soending one old friend over to DoctorAn dr ews. He has cata ract, and is unable toput his big net in the water for want of help.Dr . Andrews gave him sigh t in his othe r eyesome years ago, but it has fa iled since. I sawtwo more men today with cata ract.

Sitting in a fisherman's cotta ge toda y I no­nee d a Mwly built little schoone r ridi ng toanchor , with not one sup of pain t on her any­wher e. J im, the owne r, was out in Ircetst ruggling alone with a huge t rap net spre adout on the gnu. He was putt ing in a newbOtto~-which is a Iloor abou t .so x .so feet .

"Built her mysel f thi s spr ing, Doc to r ," hesaid, point ing at the schoone r up the bay andwithou t stopping a moment fr om wor rying a tthe net. "There wasn' t a man believed I could gether afloat ," he said, and then added with mostju st ifiable pr ide, "Mary held the plank s to theribs wh ile I fas tened them." "Yes," she sa id,"and my own ribs knew it before we werethr ough." I tried to pictur e my wife and my­self doing anyt hing half as practica l, and eac ho f us is ed ucated -at least. we each han uni­versi ty degrees.

Dh, ho ..... I wished that all the people who"know it all" and arc continually tell ing othe rsin words, words, words , wha t they ought notto do or to believe, cou ld themse lves do a lit­tle more. " He that followet h me shall hawthe light of life." Wha t a little talking H e did,afte r all, and what a l ittl e tbose firs t fishe r­men disciples knew-cor believed eit her, if theGospel tells us the whole sto ry.

"Why hasn't the boa t any paint on? " Jasked. " Isn't it too bad to put that new softplanking in the water without a dr op of pain tto protect it- and after it has cost you somuch ?" "'\'1'11, doc tor, it won't do it anygood . But , you see, we couldn't reach to anypa int thi s yea r. Seems as if you has to putclothe s on the chi ld ren firs t."

Bef ore leaving we were able to fix up aplan to secure four ga llons of lead paint , andfind a way for him to pay for it. T houghhe had had to put a new cover on the sum­mer house, and the terrible ga le of a fo rtn ightago had blown in one side o f his fishing sta ge,and he had to go up the bay and bring out"some sticks to mend her," etc.. etc., we arcall praying quietI}' for a new miraculousdraught of fishes for him, for surely no manon ea rth deserves it more .

I have visitedon our world tour.

T he ships are making a big demonstrationtoday. "Old Glory" is !lying from fore andaft . and we are all invited to a party tonighton the P EA RY, It seems only yesterday thatFrank Sayre and I went aboard the newly a r­rived Roose vn .r and Com mander Pear)', him­self, got out of his bunk and told us he hadreached the Nor th Po le.

T oday I picked up a COllY of the "Las tCruise of the Shanghai" and not iced that shealso, in her now famous cr uise f rom No rwayto Iceland , Icela nd to Greenland, and Green­land to La brador. made Battle Har bor herlast por t of call, and lay j ust at th is anchoragebefore making her fina l "jumping off" shot fo rhome. on ly to be lost in the treacherous Gulf,and be driven high and dry on the rocks o fCape Breton.

There is another very interesting p.atient inthe hospital here-a Dane, who with rwc ctbersis making a long trip in a tiny yawl Iron,Balt imore to Cape Chidley. He and his boatwere anchored in St. Louis Bay, about threeweeks ago. He went ashore to explore, whena heavy gale of snow and steer ove rtoo k him.He los t h is way, and thirteen days later wasfound sitting on a rocky point of land. Hehad not had one thing to eat. li e cou ldn' tca tch or shoo t anything, hav ing no "a pparatus"(an Eskimo would have fed well). He didn' tknow how Genera l Greely ha d fed his menin the Arc t ic on the plent if ul r-ock tr ipe thatlay all ar ound him. He had never been aBoy Sco ut. Ha ving his oils kin coat and searoots he had been able to sleep in them an dkeep dry und er the thick dwarf spruce trees,H is idea had been to get back hy walking andswimming from island to island. He assuresus he swam three "tickles" with his hootsround his neck and the rest of his clothinggir t around him. He is better now and canstand a little chaffing: but he says he couldn'tswim another tickle with his boots to handi­cap him, even if we were to take a movingpictur e. He had a nry c1o:oe call for hisli fe, but insiMs that after 11\'e day s the feelingof hunger le ft him. His little boat i~ at anchorill the ha rbo r and his two companions do notseem in the least discourage..1 b)' thi, sensa­tiona! beginning.

Surls doesn' t wantto add one cent to Batt le H ospita l budget be­cause there is enough a lready to absor b all theallo.....a nce in sight. Some how. people don'tseem to be interested in helping out with " justdrain s," But the one: break in the pipes hap­pens to be near Flossi e's window , and is allthe time a menace to our only specia l war d.As I came: back Nu rse Tangring, the voluntee rhead nur se, who had been sitting with thech ild, came ou t and said, "Come: and see some­thing to chee r you up."

T he bright sunshine wa.s pour ing in throughthe window right into the chi ld's fa ir sk in,as she lay in bed. H er temperat ure was downto nor mal, in spite of the fact tha t she ha dtaken food. The nurse has had a long expe ri­ence, but tells me she Pe\"er saw any p.atientdrain so copiously as th is f ragi le little gir lShe looks as if she would blow away if oneopened a w indcw. But the sun shone thr oughher goldo:n hair, and her pa thet ic big eyes weresmiling. H er mother sta nding beside hercouldn't speak-but I und er stood , and wentout fitter for my problems.

A young man came up th is mornin g to showus his leg. Dr . Paddo n had had to remove hisfoot some years ago for a gun shot accident .Th e stu mp was excellent, but the se ha rd rocksmak e an end stump always troublesome. Itsuddenly came into my mind that JohnReinha rt z, the MacMillan radio expert. hadshown me some new aerated ru bber in sheets ,made ill Chicago and pr esented 10 the expedi ­t ion .

It is theother limb now tbat is feeling so re, but on lybecause its mate has so sudden ly become more:elastic rhan he. Ou r friend says that if hehad five laleTS in each boot he thinks he co uldenter iur the high jump championship.

It seems that foa m rubber sho uld be \'er)'very usefu l for preventing bedsores: and wethought of the del icate skin of the little was tedgir l that it is already a serious prohkm to

/14/)' 6, 1923. Yest erday , Sunday, a fu ll tooverflowing cr owd of fisherm en gath er ed forevening service in the hosp ita l mission room.Our people said afterwards that J hey hadperh aps never befor e realized the meaning ofa hunger for something that "can't be satisfiedby thing s." The eag er listen ing, the respon­aive prayers, and the whole-so uled joyful noisein the singing, neve r fa ils to impress our visi­tors . T hose "tha t go do wn to the sea inships," as far as my ex per ience goes, rea llysee something in lif e that in th e hu stle andthe competit ion o f moder n civilization "wehal e eyes and see 110\," T hey did us all , heapsof good .

J have often felt that at home nea rly every­one would go 10 worsh ip togeth er OIIce • weekif only empha sis WeT I' put on the serv ice thata lot of husk y men might render by beingin their places, like rooter s at the gre at impor­tant Kames, instead o f harping on the goodthat th ey might get "by going to chur ch."T here is no que stion but that a team playsbette r for crowd s who are enthu siastic, evenif the latter can only help by being pr esentand shouting. Pr esident Roosevelt emphas izedthis in his "N ine Rea sons for Goin g toChur ch." Every man and woman renders areal service by being in place once on Sunday.Our parsons would prea ch bett er and our choirsbe encouraged to sing bette r if we made acrowd .

In time, they would also understand our layviewpoint bett er . Th e a vera ge business orworking man ha s far more Chri stian spirittoday than some good people allo w. Anyhow,you don't make a service bette r by stay ingaway and criti cizing .

I never forget how Booke r \Vashingtoncleaned and cleaned and re-cleane d the roomhe was put in to test his worth-while-ness foracceptance for an edu cat ion. The Pr esidentlooked around the room when at las t he en­tered and felt , "Well, that 's the kin d that isworth while ." And so the world says of anyone who has done well-done any fine action,however humbl e- "Well that 's what I call aChristian." The world 's opinion wouldn't ac­cord that high praise to any man saying, "Ibelieve this , or I believe tha t," or, "I believeanyth ing." Pe rsonally, as I read w hat Christsaid, that is the way H e ju dged men, and the.....ay He led U $ to suppose the Ju dge of allmen ....·ill do al so. Of course fa ith is one o fthe essential and mor e powerful impulses inhuman life, that ~\' ery one ha s to admit ; butit ranks second by a long way to love, forlove has to be action. Every one also willhave to . dmit the strange truth, that the man

whose faith ha s acco mplished thing s has theonly fai th tha t satisfies the public , or even theman himself.

~li ss Sto rr , our beloved colleague for manyyears as hea d of our orpha nage , came in by1II010r boa t fr om the N orth yesterday. Shebrou ght in a sick man, and told us of her pres­ent work.

But she be­lieves in and praises highly the cou rage anddevotjon of her fisherman host, and as weknew she wou ld, she is enjoj-ing her self ­appo inted ta sk with a keen zest. She left againat dark in the open boat for a go-mite journ eyalong our out side coast -scold and icebergs,which are now numerous, nothwithstanding.She has five children fr um var ious places thatshe Ieets mu st be sent to our orphanage . \\'1'ar c .....ondering who is going to be respon siblefor th em.

Th e ~I adliltan ships were to cal] at SpouedIslands to pick up Eskimo skin boots- It isone of the " P. & S." side lines o f work to buyup skins and so arr ange remunerative workfor th e women,

"1 don't sec what making skin boots has todo with a Mission," said one friend. I knewhe didn't. \\bd t a serious error of refractionit is when a good man, and a religious man,COln' t see a simple thing like that. We thought," You shou ld have an eye operatio n, Brothe r."II means capacity to get cash, to provide neces­sities, and now and again even a bit of some­thing which of cour se you could live withouthaving .

Uncle George, I mean the one we saw to­day, is known to some of our friends throughthis magazine. If 1 want a real uplift I goand sit awhi le with men like him. "I owe youfor a boat I didn't build three win ters ago," hebegan. "M y hand is a bit better now, and Iwould get after her r ight away, but I have n'tany nails for her and I couldn't get a handf ullast wint er,"

What is really a debt ? A helping hand withthing s we don't miss and which a brotherneeds almost to save his life ? Does the worl dowe Lincoln a debt or Lincoln owe the world?Is Gordon or Livingstone in debt to the world?Dot s the man to whom I lend a few dollarsreally owe roe, or if he has lifted me to highe rplanes by his lift, is the balance due to him?

Thi s old man is as smiling, hale and heartyas if it were yesterday I climbed into his atticto exami ne the dying guest of his whom he hadtaken care of for over a year, while his ownfamil y wer e without butte r or sugar .

Though the fog was thick and nig h.tcoming on, as a matter of course CaptainBurgess went right off at once, the most ex ­cellent "wops' seeing us off with as muchof our luggage as we remembered. 1Ie1[t Islelay in a fog-screen so thick that the genera !mistiness seemed clar ity. But Captain Burg essscented the creek that passes for a harbor andgave the fourteen fishing schooners crammedinto it a chance to get and send news. A port­able radio phone. such as the Zenith Radi oCompany of Chicago is now making, will oo­viate many danger-s in the nea r futu re.

A fter rolling arou nd off Cape Bauld, locat­ing our exac t whereabouts by the sound of itspowerful horn, we steamed south and out ofthe fog which always is cut off as if by a bigknife directly one passes the Cape with a west­erly wind blowing.

eastern trip (Q find severa l cases at Harring tondeman ding his attention. Th is mea nt that itwas to be my good fortune to make the secondwester n run.

Th e star t was very unp retenrious. The nightbefore, thirteen tOIl5 of coal had arrived onthe S . S. NORTH S nORE, the disposal of whichkept us bu sy un til 3 o'clock in the morning.At 10 a. m. we had only sligh tly recoveredfrom the effects of unload ing Hie coal and werejust able to cas t off and leave the wharf . Asthe day advanced our spirit rose, for t he en­gine went chugging along as if it had nota care in the world. A fair breeze was blow­ing, enabling us to use all the sails, and thewater was so smooth we were able to cookOUT dinner on boa rd; by the time we hadreached Pointe du Manner. 16 miles away, thecoal incident was entirely forgotten and allwere enjoying the trip.

P ointe du Maurler consists of one house,which sometimes comprises a village in thispart of the country. Some time before, a per­son living at this place had sent a messageto say she was unable to eat, sleep or work,and would we send some medicine by mail forthese conditions. It certainly taxes one'sdiagnostic ability and therapeutic skill to try

to make a cor rect diagnosis with a patientJ6 mites away and with only the informationthat the person cannot eat, slttp or work.However, a tonic had been sent which ap­peared to be helping the patient. Fo r thisreason we did not linger long at Poin te du)'la ur ier but hastened on to \Volfe Bay; Iol­lowing the inside run.

The passageway being between islands de­mands an exact knowledge of the coast, bu tBob, ou r pilot, knows every rock and islan d,and we could but marvel at t he way he pickedout the right channel, in some places makingdouble 5 turns and in others runni ng intoplaces that appea red to have no outlet, sud­denly an opening wou ld appear and on wewould go. This inside r un was very pretty ,with barren, moss-covered rocks, man)' birds,quan ti ties of jelly-fish gathered in the consto enjoy the warm th of the sunl ight, the ea tmblue wat er protected by islands, and our goodship steadily pushing her way along at fiveknots an hour. Our boat is slow, which re­minds me of what a F renchman said wholooked at our engine, For his limited knowl­edge of Engli sh, he express ed him self verywell. A fter look ing a t the engine for sometime he exclaimed "big"; then a fte r anothersilence, "s low" ; and then, "him live a longtime". By supper time we arr ived at WolfeBay and decid ed to spend the night . We foundonly one patient, a man with an infected fingerwho had visit ed the hospita l some time be­for e. The finger was bett er and required nofurther tr eatment .

Next mornin g, after an early start, we pro­ceeded to Romaine Bluff, anot her village ofone house. T he family only resides at th ispoint during the sa lmon fishery, wintering atRomaine, the next stop, which is a fai r-sizedplace with about ten houses , a Hudson's BayP ost and an Indian enca mpment durin g thesumme r. It was here that we first came incontact with the French, visiting one familyunab le to speak English at all. The motherwas in a very poor condition from chronicindigestion; a litt le girl had pulmonary tuber ­cetcsts, one of the men had the larges t warUI ever saw, or ever expect to see : while thebaby had rickets.

went to their tents patients appeared on allsides. One Indian was unable to cat, anotherhad chronic headache, while severa l sufferedfro m pulmonary tuberculosis. It was verydifficult to tr eat the m because they did nOIunde rstand .....hat was said, although they knewII. little French. When I said, "malade ici,"pointin g to their heads, they would nod "yes ,"an d did not vary that reply, no matt er whatmember was pointed out. According to themthey were "malade ici" all over. The littleIndian children would scream when ap­proached. making it especially hard to t reatthe m.

These Indians art of the Montagnais, a tr ibeof the once mighty Algonquins, the grea t racewhich allied itself with the French ag ainstthe I roq uois in Cha mplain's time. They ha velong since lost their warlike characteristics andare now peacefu l and contented hunters andtrappers. About the middle of August theyget ready to go into the interior. No oneknows exactly where they go. but it is saidthat some of them cross the height of landand go into the Hamilton river territory. Inthe spring, as SOOD as the ice goes out of therivers, they come back to the Hudson's Bayposts to exchange their furs fo r the next year'ssupplies. They appear to be well t rea ted bythe H udson's Bay Co, The present facto r wasvery kind to us, asking us to stay for sup per,but unfortunately we were unab le to accept aswe wanted to reach Kegaska and Natashquannext day.

Nothing exciting happened at Kqaska oron the way there. \Ve no longer kept to tbeinside run but were out on the open gulf. AtKegaska they use hand lines instead of t rapsfo r fishing and as a result do not catch so

many fish, but get very large ones. These brinea better price than the trapped fish.

The character of the country has nowchanged completely. Instead of high, barrenrock s and cliffs such as we have at H arring.ton. the re are sandy beaches, some trees andopen spaces tha t a re used for gardens.

A fter delivcriug a few bundles of clothesin the morning, we weighe d ancho r and pushedon to Xa tashquan. " 'e had to keep 11"e milesor more out from shore to avoid the sandshoals which run out from the mouth of theNatasbquan river, thus necessita ting a widedetour. \\'e made (lIle stop, at Forman's r iver ,visited the family living there finding all welland healthy. Just as we were leaving, fogblew in f rom the east, Fog delays more thananything else, so we decided to wait and wererewarded soon after by the fog lif ting. Soonaf ter we sighted the lighthouse at Natashquanand were gratified to line up with the: rangelights and tie up to the wha rf.

Natashquan was settled by the FrenchAcadians, who still preserve their own cus­toms and manners, as well as language. 1beplace is divided by a small river, the two part sbeing connected b)' a Iootbridge. Father Gal­!ix, the parish priest of the village , had pro m­ised to be our pilot to Johan Been Bay , sowe called first on him. He has a very pic­turesque house and church surrounded by ever­greens, and with his winter's supply of fire­wood acting as a fence. He showed us hisgarden, also his little weather station whe rehe records the temperatures for the \ Veathe rBureau, and after a "ery pleasant evening askedus to return for dinner next day. This wegladly did and were rewarded by a fine meal,including fresh "egetables and cream. W e:

visited several pat ients at Nataahquan. Th esewe found suffering f rom rickets, chronic in­digestion and ether complaints which canreadily be helped by proper treatment.

Previous to our trip Dr. Cook had receiveda hurry call to come to lohan Beete Bay, buton inquiry learned that this patient had beenchronically sick fo r years and was not in im­mediate danger. Dr. Cook had not gone atthat time because J oban Bertz Ba.y is outsideour district. Late r, the patient had teleg raphedto Father GaUix asking him to come andFathe r had wait ed for us. \ Ve were privilegedto take Fathe r Gallix fo r he knows both coastand people and cou ld act as interp rete r. W emade straight fo r J ohan Beetz Bay with sailsall set and eng ine running, mak ing eigh t ornine knots an hour . \V e anchored at the mouthof the rive r and went ashore . \Ve were re­ceived very kindly by the family of the pat ient,bUI found him beyond medical aid, "seco ndchildhood" having come upon him. T her e wereseveral other patien ts to see, howeve r, makingthe trip a busy one and well wor th while.Rickets, rheumatism and paralysis were someof the ai lments dealt with.

In addition to medica l work some of thepar ty fished, one getting a fine salmon andanother, ten trout . At one time }aban BertzBay was noted for its fox farms. but nownothing remains of these but the large en­closures. We had ancho red in the mouth ofthe river and during tke night ou r boat swungbroadside to the current and we rolled a llnight. Xexr morn ing, a fter cooking our break­fast, we were unab le to eat it as the food

would not sta)' on the plates ; and then one' sappetite was not keen afte r rocking all night.T he indications of rough weather are tha t thesoup splashes out of the plates and the milkfrom the cereal , That moming was classifiedas "rough."

On our return trip we stopped at Agwanu$,a pretty little French settlement all the banksof the river by the same name. Thanks toFather Galfix, who knew all the ills andtroubles of the people, we soon had a largenumber of patients coming out to the boat ,and later visiltd more ill their homes. Someof the people are very poor, living in smallhouses wit h only tar paper to protect themfrom the cold and stor ms. Measurements weretaken here for splints for a little girl hope­lessly defor med by severe ricket s. Many werein need of clothin g and were most appreciat iveof the bundles distri buted.

Next morn ing we stopped at Isle au Michonand afte r seeing severa l patient s went on toXatashquan. That was our last call and wewere soon homeward bound, glad enough tosee the fami liar hills at H arr ington in thedistance and to know supper would be waitingfor us. Nu rse Murray's clover-leaf rolls andXurse Egbert's chocolate pudding outdistancean),thing we had been able to cook on theboa r.

The trip lasted ten days, covering 400 milesin the round trip, We saw 47 patients, de­livered many p.ackages of .....arm clothing toneedy families, and lef t dog- food at severalplaces to serve fo r the Doctor's team whenhe makes h is winter round of calls.

We are celebrating today the ninth birthdayof the Ottawa Branch, G. L. M.

God has hon­ored the labors of His servant, Dr. \Vilf redT. Grenfell, and we are happy to be pr-ivilegedto assist. Our membership now numbers 251.The Lorraine and Philemon \Vright Chapte rs,1. O. D. E., have contributed for the first time,and four more church assoc iations have alignedthemselves with this human itar ian under takingby subscr ibing toward its maintenance. T heseare all indications of the wider vision andlarger usefulness being fostered and encour­aged everywhere today. Liberal support hasagain been accorded the Association in coneec­ticn with the educa tion and up-bringing oforphans in Labrador. The sum of $875 wasgiven for this alone; total amount raised dur ­ing the year, $2,267.

One of the largest and best displays of wellmade garments and hos pital suppl ies, in thehistory ol the Ottawa Branch, was tha t shownat the King's Daughters Guild on Apr il 8,under the ab le supervision of Mr s. W. 11.

Bailey. In that connection a successful moneyshowe r, musicale and tea was hel d, and largepatronage given the event. Of especial interestwere the two cots given and furnished thisseason for H arrington. T hese were "The Mrs.c. S. Scott Memorial Cot," given by "Thought­ful Circle," King's Daughters; and "The Dr.] . H. Turnbull Cot," given by Circle No. I,

of Chalmers Wcmens' Association. Both thesecots were complete ly furnished in every re­spect.

T he Grenfell tea and sale of industrial prod­ucts, held in November last , was an unqualifie dsuccess . Mrs .

Th e amount ra ised fo r the genera l workduring the year $3,757.

In May, 1924, a definite effor t was com­menced to collect money for the Gre nfe llFounda tion Fund . Th e solicit ing ha s been

very quietly and unob trusively done and one­thir d of the objective reached. T wenty thou­sand dollars has been secu red thus far (Jan. I,

1925), and invested in gilt edge d securities forthe M ission, W hile the end seems large an dfa r away, the commit tee is encouraged to con­tinue.

Despite large sums contr ibuted to the Found a-

A~[QNG TH E DE E P- SE A FISHE RS

tion Fun d, the General Fund has not suffered.Additional sums for specific pur poses have alsobeen given, notably $ros for- the purchase ofseven goats , to supp ly milk for Labradorfamilies. Milk for young children means allthe difference between underfed, rickety, dis­ease-susceptible little ones and the robust, clear­eyed offspring which carry our hopes for thefutu re of Lab rador.

Th e Montreal Committee also contributedthe prizes fo r a Horticultural Show held atForteau, where Miss Fellowes and N urse F~r­

rls did yeo m an work in teaching gardening andencouraging the cultivation of the soil. SohelpfUl did the show pr ove that next seasonthe competition will be open to nearby settle­ments. Fresh greens contribute almost as muchto stamina among the people as goa t's milk ,and friendly rivalry in kitchen gardens is boundto be of value.

Ou r annual tea and sale of work took placein October. The quality and attractiveness ofthe industrial products is improving, Facslnat ­ing scarfs, gay and unusual, as well as wovenarti cles. toys and unique Labrador hookedmats were on sale. We realized $329 fro m thesale of handicrafts and $83 from the tea-tab le.At the request of the. Committee of the CanadianH andicra ft s Exhibit, a selection of Labradorarticles was placed in the Ar t Gallery andthus advertised the Mission Industrial Depa rt ­ment.

The nutrition work on the coast is now aseparate department. Specially designed Christ ­mas cards are sold to finance this venture.:Montreal sales helped to the_extent of $81.

All are delighted to have Nurse Murrayback on duty at Harrington.

T wo large shipments of supplies went for­ward to H arrington as usual, one in June, theother in September. T hese shipments con­tained new warm clothing, for men, womenand children. Infant layettes had a lar ge placeand knitte d articles were in abunda nce. Books ,magazines, toys, and Christmas candies werenot forg otte n. Besides generous donationsfrom many personal friends of this Mission,there wer e ten parcels of warm clothi ng fromFai thf ul Circle, King's Daughter s ; a large boxSalada tea, St. Andrew's Church ; 2 large andI small barrels, Pu ng U. Circle; 3 large boxesfrom St. George's Girls' Friendly; 3 largeboxes of clothing, books, dolls, sewing bags,etc., from the Edit h Cave ll Chapter I. O.D. E.; 3 boxes of clothing and Christmasgif ts from Good Cheer Club; making alto­gether shipments worth well on to $1,000.

The comm ittee feels keen ly the loss of Mr s.James Farie, who was always most sympathet­ic, had fo rmer ly endowed a hospital cot, gavegenerous ly to the Foundation Fun d, and lef ta legacy of $500 to be de voted to the work atH ar rington,

The death of Mrs. Gilman is also much re­gretted. Her interest, too, was of long stand­ing.

T his report would be incomplete withoutmentioning Dr. Grenfell, who, with Mr s. Gren­fell, has been enjoy ing a much-needed year'sleave-the first prolonged furlough he has evertaken. Their visit to mission fields, in otherlands, will be inva luab le. We sincerely hopeboth Dr. and Mrs. Grenfell will return greatlyrefreshed in mind and body for renewed laborin their own beloved field in Labrador.

It is with renewed gratitude and satisfactionthat we submit the Tenth Annual Report ofthe Toronto Branch, \Ve are to be congratu­lated upon the measure of success achieved bythis organization.

T he financial statement shows a bank bat­ance of $2,056, an increase of $356 over las tyear. Our Goat Fund has appealed to manyof our members and a little band of interestedchildren have willingly given their mites sothat some of the under-nourished chi ldren ofLa brador may have a chance to thrive. Six

goats have been purchased this year. Throughthe generosity of some of our members andsome school children we were able, last No­vember, to send two packing cases of decora­tions for the Christmas tree, toys, sweets, etc.,to the Labrador public school, at Cartwright.

Our membership has not increased, forthough we have had the pleasure of wekomingnew contributors, we great ly regret having torecord the death of several of our old andloyal members. However, the rooting is strong,as we have many groups here and there whosew and knit throughout the winte r fo r thebales, and their efforts are of unto ld value tothe Mission.

NEW ENGLAND GRENFELL ASSOCIATION

T HOS E of us who remember the firstlittle school in St. Anthony, when themission settlement was very small, and

Miss Storr was the teacher for the hanJfulof child ren, are great l)' interested in the repor tof the Grenfell School of St. Anthony ill thepresent day, and the reports that have cometo us through )'Irs. Blackburn , who has beenvisiting in Xe..... England this summer .

New England friends are particularly inter­ested in this School since !o{rs.Little of Brook­line, )'Iass. , ( ni e ~[i5S Keese) interested somany of us in the school as it grew under hercare. Aft erward, Mrs. Blackburn [nee MissAlice Appleton of Cambridge, Mass.) fol­lowed Mrs. Little in the school.

T he Xew England Office and friends whohave known Mrs. Blackburn in the No rth havewelcomed her most cordia lly this summer,while on her furlough in Massachusett s. Hav­ing been at SI. Anthony 50 long a period, sheand her work are kno....-n to many of the vclcn,teers. The ),Iission owes much to her forthe many lines of work she has carried onin 51. Anthony .

As an outgro ..... th of this School, the Educa­tiooal Dtopartment has been fonned, and weare very glad each year to see some (If thenative young people coming to the States forsp«ial training in various lines of work, in­c1udinE" nursing, industrial work , domesticscience, carpentry, etc.

We hea r from the North of the fine workwhich is constant ly being done by Dr. J osephAndr ews, of Santa Barbara, Calif. , who formany years has made annual visits to theCoast, as EJe Spttialist. Dr. Andrews' namei.I now known up and down the coast almost

as well as Dr. Grenfell's, because of the res­tora tion o f sight he has given to so many ofthe poor fisherfolk.

T he summer has been one of usual activ ityin tr ying to raise our share of the upkeep ofthe var ious lines of the mission work , andwe are very grateful to our frien ds who haverene .....ed their usual gifts to the work for 1925.

Again we wish to call attention to the factthat we have a new Field Secretary, :MissHester Parks, who has spent the past summeron the Mission Field, and who is availabl eto speak in the interests of the Mission atany gathering or society. She will give hertalk with or without lantern slides. Vie hopemany (If the women's societies will take ad­vantage of this opportunity either for a HomeMission or a Cub program.

\Ve are glad to repor t a larger list for the"Brick Fu nd," fo r the new St. Anthony Hos­pital, and by the first of the year hope theChildren 's societies and Sunday schools in Ne.....England will greatly increase the list. Perhapsmany of the individual classes in the Churchschools would. like to help by securing 20bricks, making a gift of $5.00.

Of this book Dr . Grenfell writes the Editor: "It has a distinct mission,viz: to make folks know that our bodies are just an assemblage of verydelicate machines, mostly automatic, that we arc entrusted with the care ofthem for so long as we can keep them working, and therefore every one oughtto know all he can about them. . .. This is an attempt to make it not onlyinteresting, but amusing, and even in an idle summer vacation to get somereal information about machines that to om individual happiness mean near-lyeverything, and to our ability to serve the world, everything. Scouts,Guides, but especially parents should xct this know ledge."
