I have, therefore, +considered it better and more becoming to confine myself to a bare and +brief newspaper statement of the places visited, and the services +performed, without any particular mention of the condition of the +inhabitants, and other incidents of the voyage.</p> + +<p>"In my late visitation, however, I have been enabled to reach a +portion of the island, in which, though several hundred members of our +Church have long resided, no clergyman had ever before been seen. I +refer to White Bay, a remote district on the so-called French Shore of +Newfoundland. A large portion, nearly one-half of the coast of +Newfoundland (from Cape St. John on the N.E. to Cape Ray on the S.W.), +is called and known in the island by that name (the French Shore); in +consequence of the permission, granted by treaty, to the French to +fish for cod on, or round that portion. The natives and inhabitants of +Newfoundland, and the British generally, have not considered it worth +their while to prosecute the fishery to any extent in these parts, or +to settle in them; the operations of the French fishermen, being +assisted and systematized by their Government, are on such an +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_5" id="Page_5">[5]</a></span>extensive scale as to exclude competition, and to render their +privilege practically an exclusive one. Nevertheless, as the parts of +the island so assigned, or given up, are among the most productive, +not only in fish, but in game, and occasionally in seals (which are +there taken in nets with comparatively little trouble or expense), +families have from time to time migrated to and settled in these +remote districts, scattering themselves widely, with the view of +obtaining the means of subsistence in larger abundance and with +greater ease. Now, as there are no roads to, or on, this shore, and +each settlement therefore can only be approached by sea, and by sea +only for four or five months in the year, in any vessel larger than a +boat, it is exceedingly difficult to minister to, or visit the +inhabitants. Nevertheless, I have been enabled, by the aid of my +Church-ship, to visit, <i>at intervals of four years</i>, since 1848, most +of the settlements on this shore. In St. George's Bay, indeed, the +most thickly or largely inhabited part, a Church has been built, and +one of our Society's missionaries stationed for several years; and +great, in consequence, is the change, great the improvement in the +residents. Here, I have been enabled, as in other parts of the island, +to celebrate <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_6" id="Page_6">[6]</a></span>the services of consecration and confirmation, and to +provide for the administration of the Holy Communion. But until the +census of 1857, I was not aware of the large number of our people in +White Bay and the neighbourhood, or of the large proportion they bear +to the whole population. When, at the close of that year, I discovered +that more than three-fourths registered themselves members of the +Church of England, I resolved, should it please God to permit me, to +make another voyage in my Church-ship, that I would myself visit, and +minister to, as I might be able, these scattered sheep of my flock. A +statement of their condition, and of my services, assisted by the +clergy who accompanied me, cannot fail, I think, to interest and +affect all those who can feel for the sheep or the shepherd. It is +with a view of awakening this Christian sympathy in behalf of my poor +diocese, and generally in the cause and fork of your Society (by or +through which both sheep and shepherd have been so largely befriended +and assisted) that I am desirous of publishing those parts of the +journal of my last voyage that relate to White Bay.</p> + +<p>"I have added the account of two days in the Bay of Islands, a +locality only so far more <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_7" id="Page_7">[7]</a></span>happily circumstanced than, or I should +rather say not so unhappily circumstanced as, White Bay, inasmuch as +the inhabitants have been twice before visited by myself in the +Church-ship, and once by the Missionary of the Belle-Isle Straits.

At sea, and Little Harbour Deep.</i>—Passed Cape +St. John, at eight o'clock; several French vessels in the harbour: +passed Partridge Point soon after twelve o'clock, and entered White +Bay. I had intended to visit, in the first place, the settlements on +the south side of the bay, but the wind being adverse, we stood across +to Little Harbour Deep, not knowing that we should find any "livers" +there; but hoping to be able from thence to visit, or there to be +visited by, the families dwelling in Grande-Vache, or Grandfather's +Cove, said to be only one mile distant. On nearing the harbour, we saw +and hailed a boat, which proved to belong to the place, and in which +were a man and his wife returning from their salmon nets, which they +overhaul twice a day. We took them on board, and having no pilot, were +glad to avail ourselves of the man's knowledge of the place in beating +in, which occupied two hours, as the wind was blowing strongly and +directly out. Theirs was the only family living in the harbour. We +informed them of the object of our visit, which appeared to please +them greatly, and they promised to send to their neighbours in +Grandfather's Cove <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[10]</a></span>(which proves, however, to be nearly three miles +distant) very early to-morrow morning, and acquaint them with our +presence, and our intention to have services on board the Church-ship.</p> + +<p>The appearance of these people was not so wild as might be expected +from their wild and lonely life. In the summer they occupy, by +themselves, this large harbour, shut in by immense cliffs, which no +person ever ascends or descends. In the winter they occupy and possess +the Horse-Islands, lying several miles from the shore, surrounded for +months by ice.</p> + +<p>Seldom in either place do they see any human being, except the members +of their own family, and not one of the family can read. In summer +they catch salmon and codfish; and in the winter kill seals. And yet +they are not heathens or savages. The woman, though rowing, was very +neatly dressed, with a necklace, but no other superfluous finery; the +man was tidy; both were civil. They presented us with two salmon, all +they had in their boat, and promised us finer ones to-morrow. They +expressed much pleasure at the prospect of attending the services, and +of having their youngest child christened or admitted into the Church. +All had been baptized; some at Twillingate, some at Herring Neck, in +each case by a clergyman, one by a Methodist preacher, one by a +fisherman; but all had been admitted into the Church (at Twillingate, +or Herring Neck) except this youngest. They left us about 10.30 +<span class="fakesc">P.M.</span>, after attending our family prayers in the cabin.</p> + +<p><i>Friday, July 8th. Little Harbour Deep.</i>—Before <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[11]</a></span>four o'clock, two of +my men, with a boy from shore, went to Grandfather's Cove +(Grande-Vache) to invite the families (Randalls) living there to our +services. Though so early, one of the families had gone to their +fishing ground before our men arrived. The others gladly accepted the +invitation. This being the first day of missionary work, or services, +on board the Church-ship, I had to instruct my friends, Mr. Johnson +and Mr. Tucker, how to arrange and deck the large cabin for the +congregation. The day, happily, was very fine, so that we were able to +put several of the many packages and boxes on deck.</p> + +<p>The congregation, in the morning, consisted of only the two families +(Wiseman and Randall) and our captain. In the afternoon (4.30 +<span class="fakesc">P.M.</span>), our crew also attended. One girl was hypothetically +baptised, and four children received. The elder Johnson said the +prayers and baptized; the younger read the lessons. I addressed the +little congregation both morning and evening. There is something of +both pleasure and pain in these quiet services; pleasure, in hoping +that God, in his mercy, may bless some word of exhortation, or some +prayer, to the edification of these forsaken ones; pain, in observing +how by the people themselves the prayers and lessons seem to be wholly +not appreciated, or not understood. Not one could read, several of +them had never heard the service before, so they rose up and knelt +down as automatons; and would, I doubt not, have been just as ready to +kneel at the Psalms as at the Confession, and to sit at either, or +both, as when hearing the <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_12" id="Page_12">[12]</a></span>lessons or sermon. After the service, one +man bought a Prayer-book for his daughter, and we gave them several +children's books and tracts. I examined the bigger children after the +service; one girl, probably ten or twelve years of age, could not +repeat the Lord's Prayer or the Creed; a second imperfectly; a third +tolerably well. It was, indeed, pitiful; and enough to fill the heart +of any pastor, and specially their chief pastor, with sorrow and +shame.</p> + +<p>After the second service, I accompanied my friends in a boat to the +head of the harbour, where it receives a small stream (the drain of +some lake, or of the bogs and mosses in the neighbourhood), which +winds and creeps between some magnificent mountains. While they were +fishing I wandered, climbing over the boulders, along the borders of +the stream, to enjoy the solitude and deep silence of the winding +valley. The absence of all living creatures, except mosquitoes and +dragon-flies, is a striking feature; and the occasional whistle or +scream of some sea-bird only renders the prevailing stillness more +strange; grateful or painful, according to the disposition and state +of mind.</p> + +<p>We returned to the ship soon after sunset, frightfully eaten by +mosquitoes. The fishers had all had plenty of bites, and realized a +new phase of "fly-fishing," but carried home among them one trout +only. The mosquitoes had got possession of the Church-ship, and paid +us off for invading their solitudes.</p> + +<p><i>Saturday, July 9th. At sea.</i>—We left Little <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_13" id="Page_13">[13]</a></span>Harbour Deep soon after +three o'clock <span class="fakesc">A.M.</span>, with a fair wind, which died away +outside, and we did not reach our next place of call (Little Coney +Arm) till five o'clock <span class="fakesc">P.M.</span> There new delay and difficulty +awaited us. We fired two guns, but no person came off, and not a +single boat could anywhere be seen. The whole shore seemed deserted. +Nevertheless, we discerned houses in the harbour, and stood towards +the entrance; but finding the water shoal suddenly, the captain let go +the anchor, and sent a boat in, with the mate and three of my +companions. They brought word, to my great mortification, that nearly +all the inhabitants had gone to fish in other parts of the bay, and +that but one old man, with the females and children of three families, +remained. Him they brought off to be our pilot. Unfortunately, in +getting again under way, we went to leeward of the entrance, and +immediately after the wind dropped altogether. The tide then drifted +us into Great Coney Arm, and every tack took us farther to leeward. It +seemed almost certain we should be carried to the head of the Bight, +to spend the Sunday in a solitary place; but by keeping a boat ahead, +with four hands, sometimes of the crew, sometimes of the clergy, we +maintained our ground until, about eleven o'clock, a breeze sprang up +in our favour, and we regained the entrance of the Little Arm, and +came to anchor just at midnight, whereby I learnt a lesson of patience +and perseverance.</p> + +<p><i>Third Sunday after Trinity, July 10th. Little Coney Arm.</i>—Four +families reside in this harbour, <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_14" id="Page_14">[14]</a></span>two of which are returned in the +census as Methodists, the other two Church of England. All the men, +however, were absent, except the old man who was brought off to us the +previous night; besides him were four women, and some seven or eight +children, and a sick man (a Roman Catholic), who had been left by a +trader. All, however, in the harbour (except the sick Roman) came on +board to both our services, and the women (all) expressed a great +desire to have their children admitted into the Church. The Gospel for +the Sunday gave me occasion to preach to them and myself on the +"Parable of the Lost Sheep;" to myself, to make me ashamed of thinking +much of serving or ministering to these two or three in the +wilderness; and to them, to make them, and each of them, I trust, more +grateful to the good Shepherd who came himself on the same errand on +which He sends his ministers to seek for every one that is lost and +gone astray, and who assures us there is joy in heaven over one sinner +that repenteth. The day was as bright and the scene as lovely as could +be desired for any Sabbath on earth, and I greatly enjoyed the rest +and peace. After tea, we went on shore and visited all the families, +and gave medicine to the poor Irishman, and books to the children. I +examined the children in the Lord's Prayer and Creed, and found that +the child of the Church of England parents (neither of whom could +read) was much more perfect than the children of the others, who +boasted of their learning and reading; some (ten or twelve years of +age) could not say the Lord's <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_15" id="Page_15">[15]</a></span>prayer. At family prayer, in the +evening, I addressed my crew, and explained to them the object of my +voyage, and entreated them to co-operate by their example in every +place, and warned them against the faults to which I knew them most +liable.</p> + +<p><i>Monday, July 11th. Little Coney Arm, at sea, and Bear Cove.</i>—Sailed +from Little Coney Arm at four o'clock <span class="fakesc">A.M.</span>, wind light, but +fair for crossing the bay, and we accordingly passed over to Bear +Cove. We found that all the inhabitants (four families) were at home, +or on their fishing-grounds, and all professed members of the Church +of England, and greatly desirous to be admitted, by baptism or +reception as the case might require; and two couples, who had been +united by a fisherman, expressed a wish to be duly married. One couple +made some difficulty about the fee (having no money), but promised to +send the amount (20s.) in money, or fish, to the nearest clergyman, +in the fall. The service was to have commenced at five o'clock, but it +was with difficulty all were got together and duly arranged at 6.15. +We said the Evening Prayers, which I fear must have been parables to +these poor people, several of whom had lived here and in the +neighbouring coves all their life, and had never before seen a +clergyman, or heard the service. After the second lesson, the baptisms +had to be performed, and sad and strange were the discoveries made by +the question, whether the child or person (for some were fifteen, +sixteen, and eighteen years of age) had been baptized or no? Of all it +was answered they had been <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_16" id="Page_16">[16]</a></span>baptized; but some, it appeared, could not +tell by whom, some by fishermen, several by a woman,—the only person +in the settlement (and she a native) who could read correctly. One +woman (married) was baptized, hypothetically, with her infant. +Twenty-one in all were admitted, the majority with hypothetical +baptism. Both of the women who came to be married had infants in their +arms; one of them had three children. Not one person in the whole +settlement could read correctly, except the woman before mentioned; +her husband (a native of Bay of Islands), a little. He had, however, +been employed to marry one of our present couples, which he confessed +to me with some shame and confusion of face, saying, "he had picked +the words out of the book as well as he could make them out," but he +did not baptise, because "that reading was too hard;" in fact, he +could scarcely read at all, he left the baptisms therefore to his +wife. I addressed the people after the baptisms, trying to make them +understand the meaning and purpose of that Sacrament, and again after +the prayers, in their obligations as baptized. After this service, Mr. +Johnson married the two couples, and I examined the children in their +prayers and belief, which I found most of them could repeat more or +less correctly, but not one knew a letter of the alphabet. It was +considerably after nine o'clock before we could dismiss our visitors, +and sorry they seemed to be dismissed as I was to dismiss them. Poor +people! the fair faces of the children would have moved the admiration +of a Gregory; and the destitute, forsaken <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_17" id="Page_17">[17]</a></span>condition of all would move +the compassion of any one who believed they have souls to be saved; +how much more if those souls in any sense were committed to his +charge. But what can I do more for them, and, alas! for many others +almost equally destitute and forsaken. It is but too probable that +never again, either myself, or by others, shall I be able to minister +to their wants. To-morrow with the first dawn, the men and boys will +be all out on their fishing-grounds, the women busy in their houses, +the elder girls nursing the younger children; and I must be on the +move to perform a like perfunctory service to others in the same state +of ignorance, of whom I believe there are more than two hundred in +this bay.</p> + +<p><i>Tuesday, July 12th. At Bear Cove, at sea, at Jackson's Arm, and at +Sop's Island.</i>—We warped out of Bear Cove, there being then no wind, +at five o'clock <span class="fakesc">A.M.</span>, and stood over to Jackson's Cove, on +the opposite side of the bay (about nine miles), which we reached by +8.30. It is a capacious and beautiful harbour, easy of approach and +entrance. On coming to anchor, I sent on shore immediately, and found +that all the men were gone to Sop's Island (about five miles off), +except one poor fellow with a diseased hip, to whom I sent some wine +and medicine. I proposed to take the only woman left behind, with her +children, on board the Church-ship, to join her friends and relations +at Sop's Island, to which she gladly assented, and they came on board +accordingly. We then weighed anchor again at 12.30, to beat to Sop's +Island, which we reached between three <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_18" id="Page_18">[18]</a></span>and four o'clock. We landed +immediately with our poor fisherman's wife, who appeared an +intelligent, seriously-disposed person, and she could read. Her +children were very wild, hair uncut and uncombed, without shoes and +stockings. She had come from the Barred Islands (in the Fogo Mission), +and lamented the separation from her Church and clergy. She guided us +to the residences and fishing rooms of the different residents and +others in Sop's Island, and we appointed a service for them at five +o'clock, not, however, expecting to get them together before six +o'clock. We commenced at 6.15; seventeen children were received into +the Church, and two couples married. We found that the parties whom we +had missed at Coney's Arm (as well as those from Jackson's Arm) were +in this island, and we sent word to them of our intention to hold +service again to-morrow. Here was a repetition of the same melancholy +anomalies and irregularities as those of yesterday, except that two or +three of the women could read; and a Mr. M——, from St. John's, a +small dealer or merchant, who has resided here for several years, has +kept up some remembrance of God and his service by reading the Church +prayers at a funeral. He resides, however, in the house of a planter, +who has brought and lives with a woman from England, in the very +neighbourhood of his wife, whom he deserted after she had borne him +three children. She (his wife) is still living at Twillingate, and +supports herself as a nurse and servant. By the woman he now lives +with he has had seven children, most of whom are grown up, and +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_19" id="Page_19">[19]</a></span>several married. When he saw my vessel with a female on board, he +thought his wife was come from Twillingate, and went and hid himself +in the woods. Some of his children and grandchildren were among those +admitted this day into the Church. After the prayers and two addresses +from myself, one in connexion with the baptismal service, and one in +place of a sermon, two couples were married. These services were not +finished till nearly nine o'clock.</p> + +<p><i>Wednesday, July 13th. Sop's Island, at sea, and at Gold Cove.</i>—I had +appointed the service at nine o'clock, being anxious to get forward, +if possible, in the afternoon; but it was not till after twelve +o'clock that the poor people could arrange their little (to them +great) matters, and come with their children properly attired. Some +had to go on board a trader lying in the harbour to purchase clothes; +several came from a distance against a head wind. Two couples were +married before, and two after, the prayers; six children of one of the +pairs were admitted into the Church: all had been baptized by lay +hands. Two women, neighbours, had each baptized the other's children. +After the services, I gave away a number of elementary books for +children; three or four Prayer-books, and one Bible were purchased. At +two o'clock they all took their departure, with many expressions of +pleasure and gratitude. We got away just before a violent north-easter +(a wind which always comes, as they say, with the butt end first), +which carried us rapidly to Gold Cove, at the head of the bay. It is a +snug, well-sheltered <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_20" id="Page_20">[20]</a></span>place, but the water is deep almost up to the +shore; and we moored, for the first time in my experience, to a tree. +However, we found bottom at about sixteen fathoms, and plenty of fish +upon it. One of my companions jigged nine fine fish in an hour. The +others went off to visit the people, who were at some distance, and +apprize them, as usual, of our presence and purpose. A more secluded, +retired spot could hardly, I think, be found, or more picturesque +withal. Wild gooseberries grow on the shore in abundance, and, of +course, other fruits, which no hand gathers and no eye sees. Here the +people report themselves to have been very successful in their fishery +this year. It is the first place where we have heard of success.</p> + +<p><i>Thursday, July 14th. At Gold Cove.</i>—Some of our congregation came on +board before nine o'clock, but others, having to contend with a head +wind, did not arrive till 10.30. Ten o'clock was the hour named for +service; and after all were assembled on deck, it took some +considerable time to arrange and prepare the sponsors, &c., and +instruct them in the answers they would be required to make. On this +occasion, a father of eleven children desired to be baptized, and was +baptized conditionally with six of his children. He had never been +able to learn that he had received baptism even by lay hands. +Nevertheless, he bore the two honoured names of Basil and Osmond, and +by that of Basil he was now baptized and received into the Church. +Sixteen persons were received; the oldest sixty-five years of age, the +youngest four months. One couple was married, and <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_21" id="Page_21">[21]</a></span>one woman received +the Holy Communion. Most of the grown-up persons, all, I believe, +except some invalids, came to our second service in the evening. +Between the services we sailed in our boat to the head of this bay, +where we found three small rivers or brooks meeting and running by one +mouth into the sea. The water was very clear and sweet; and nothing of +the kind could exceed the picturesque beauty of the lofty and +precipitous hills, clothed and covered with trees from the base to the +summit. I can hardly fancy a greater treat than to sail for three or +four weeks through the reaches and tickles of this bay, which has the +singular advantage of being free from rocks and shoals, with abundance +of good and safe harbours, almost all surrounded by hills and +headlands of picturesque outline, covered with trees, against which no +feller has raised his axe. Our harbour this evening appeared alive +with fish.</p> + +<p><i>Friday, July 15th. Gold Cove, at sea, Purbeck Cove.</i>—Went on deck at +4.35, and found a fine morning and fair wind, but no captain or crew: +the mate in the boat fishing. Called the captain, and recalled the +mate, not without some displeasure at both for neglecting to get under +way. We got away at 5.30, and had a very pleasant sail to Purbeck +Cove, which we reached at nine o'clock. It is a fine harbour, but like +most in this bay with very deep water. We found here a Mr. C——, with +a vessel and crew from Greenspond for the summer fishery. He reported +favourably of his catch, and speaks of the bay as generally very +prolific. Besides cod-fish, <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[22]</a></span>salmon, and trout in abundance, later in +the fall he expects to catch mackerel; and this is the only bay in +which, at present, they are found in Newfoundland. Deer also abound in +the neighbourhood; some have been killed lately, and more might be +found if the people cared to look after them; but they are not yet in +season, and the fishing is not neglected for any thing or all things. +This is the great harvest; the seals are the first, but more uncertain +and less lucrative; late in the fall the deer are slaughtered; and in +the winter other game, with foxes, martens, &c., afford sport and +means of subsistence. Seeing several boats fishing outside, I +despatched my friends to inform the men who and what we were, and to +request them, if possible, to bring their families on board in the +afternoon. Fortunately they were able to communicate with parties +living above and below. All, though the fishery was at its height, +accepted the invitation, and Mr. C—— came also with his crew, so +that the cabin could not contain them, and several of the men stood +round the skylight on the deck, from which they looked down upon us as +from a gallery. The day was very fine and warm, and I suffered no +inconvenience from open skylight or sky, except when a piece of +tobacco descended on my head. Twenty-one children were received into +the Church, and one couple married. Very few, if any, except some men +of Mr. C——'s crew (who, thanks to their good pastor at Greenspond, +had their Prayer-books, and were attentive and well behaved) could +read, but most of the children could say the Lord's <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[23]</a></span>Prayer and Creed. +One woman brought forward her daughter as "a terrible girl" to, say +her Creed and Lord's Prayer, and some of the Commandments; and "that +hymn you sung below (Evening Hymn), she knows <i>he</i>, but she <i>lips</i> +(lisps), so she's ashamed before strangers." Another woman, after +surveying with, much admiration a large alphabet-sheet (as I should +Egyptian hieroglyphics), said, "I suppose, sir, that's the A B C." I +gave little books to all who desired them. Though most of them had a +considerable distance to return, they seemed unwilling to leave me and +the vessel, and I was in no hurry to dismiss them. It was very sad +indeed to think that the meeting and intercourse, after so long delay, +and with so little prospect of being renewed, should be so short, when +so many important things had to be done, and alas! so many left +undone!</p> + +<p><i>Saturday, July 16th. Purbeck Cove, at sea, and Seal Cove.</i>—At five +o'clock sent letters on board Mr. C——'s vessel, to be forwarded +<i>viâ</i> Greenspond to St. John's. Sailed for Seal Cove (fourteen or +fifteen miles); for three hours no wind, and then wind ahead, so that +we did not reach our harbour till eight o'clock <span class="fakesc">P.M.</span>, happy +and thankful to reach it then, having in remembrance the difficulties +and anxieties of last Saturday night. In this Cove, which, at this +season, and all seasons when the wind is not strong from N.W., is a +splendid harbour, are only two families; but one boat's load had +preceded us from Purbeck Cove to profit by the Sunday services. We +found the people on shore (a family of <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[24]</a></span>Osmonds), very thankful for +our coming, though a Roman Catholic family had just arrived to spend +the Sunday with them. How so many people are lodged and accommodated +(there must be twenty-five now here) in one small hut is difficult to +understand. I know not how to be thankful enough for the mercies and +comforts of the past week. This is the eighth harbour I have been +anchored in, this week, and in six I have held services; and except in +entering Little Coney Arm, have encountered neither difficulty nor +delay. The winds have been generally fair, the weather always fine; +the people, without exception, grateful for our visits and services. +Ninety-two persons of various ages have been formally received into +the Church; eight couples married; one person admitted to the Lord's +Supper; nearly one hundred and eighty of all ages have been present at +the services. The bread has been cast upon the waters, may it be +found.</p> + +<p><i>Fourth Sunday after Trinity, July 17th. Seal Cove.</i>—I was pleased to +find that two families had followed in their boats, from a harbour we +have already visited, to attend the services on board. The head of the +family resident here (in Seal Cove) is Joseph Osmond, a younger +brother of Basil; he had lost his wife last fall in giving birth to +her twelfth child, and he could not speak of her without tears. He +pointed out to me the spot, where he had himself committed her body to +the ground (the first and only one buried in the place), which he had +carefully fenced, and was anxious to have consecrated. The <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[25]</a></span>babe had +been nursed and kept alive by her sisters, but appeared very sickly +and not likely to continue. Nine of his twelve children he had carried +to Twillingate to be christened (<i>i.e.</i> received into the church after +private baptism), but three remained whom he desired now to be +received. All of these had been baptized by lay hands; two of them, he +said, "<i>had been very well baptized</i>," <i>i.e.</i> by a man who could read +well, the third case did not satisfy him. This was told us before the +service, and when, in the service, he was asked, as the Prayer-book +directs, "By whom was this child baptized?" he answered, "By one +Joseph Bird, and a fine reader he was." This Bird, who on account of +his fine readings, had been employed to baptise many children in the +bay, was a servant in a fisherman's family.</p> + +<p>We had two services, as usual, on board; four children were received +into the Church, and one couple married. This couple had followed us +from Bear Cove; they had before been united by a fisherman, had six +children, and were expecting shortly a seventh. The man was he who, at +Bear Cove, as before mentioned, had himself married a couple; and his +wife was the person who had baptized the children. Whether the couple +for whom he had officiated were "very well married," as to the +service, must be "very doubtful." Either he wished to be more perfect, +or he was doubtful about his own case; whatever was his reason, he +very cheerfully paid the fee, twenty shillings. He inquired also +whether he ought to be christened, having been baptized only by a +fisherman, <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[26]</a></span>though, as he said, with godfathers and a godmother. Here +was confusion worse confounded; and shame covered my face, while I +endeavoured to satisfy him and myself on these complicated points. The +poor man was evidently in earnest, and I gladly did all in my power to +relieve his mind, and place him and his in a more satisfactory state. +But how sad that one who had baptized and married others, should +himself apply to be baptized and married, being now the father of six +children! The wife appeared to be the general chronicler of all events +in the neighbourhood, and was looked up to as a kind of prophetess. +After the Evening Service, I went on shore to visit the house which +the man Osmond had built himself, and made comfortable for summer and +winter: there being abundance of wood for ceiling, &c., and birch-rind +to cover the seams. He showed his gardens, full of flourishing +potatoes, where the disease had never yet reached. The vegetation is +very luxuriant, and there is plenty of pasture for cows. He could at +any time, he said, kill a deer, and had killed upwards of two hundred! +and as his neighbours in the bay all supply themselves with the same +food, the park must be supposed to be pretty large, and well stocked. +In the winter he kills foxes and martens for their skins, wild fowls +of various sorts for food. Fuel is superabundant. The water produces +fish,—salmon, herring, and mackerel; the ice brings the seals. Osmond +acknowledges that it was "very easy to get a living," and wanted only +the minister to be more than contented. His nearest neighbours (at +Lobster Harbour) <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">[27]</a></span>are Roman Catholics, and with these he lives on very +good terms. "There was never a thee, or a thou, passed between them." +Such is Joseph Osmond, sole occupier of Seal Cove, in White Bay, and +such his condition, physical, social, and religious. It should be +added that not one person in the settlement can read. He complains +much of the French cutting spars and other sticks, besides what they +require for their use on shore; and yet more, of their leaving many +fires in the woods, by which the whole neighbourhood is endangered. He +has often gone to put out the fires thus carelessly left, by which +thousands of acres of wood might be destroyed, and the inhabitants +driven from their homes.</p> + +<p><i>Monday, July 18th. At Seal Cove.</i>—This was our first day of delay +since coming into the Bay. A strong north-east wind with a heavy lop, +made it useless to attempt to proceed. In the afternoon all the people +on shore came to our service, and I explained "the articles of our +Belief, the Ten Commandments, and the Lord's Prayer." In the evening, +Mr. Tucker went on shore to teach the younger ones to repeat the +Lord's Prayer and the creed, more perfectly; and I, with the rest of +my party, rowed up "the Southern Arm," an indraft of about three +miles, winding among the most picturesque mountains I ever saw. They +rise almost perpendicularly from the water, are clothed with wood from +the base to the summit, and are of most varied shape and outline. They +surpass in grandeur the banks of the Wye, and are more thickly clothed +with wood, in which, the <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[28]</a></span>beech, and birch, and maple, have almost +displaced the spruce, and no green could be more fresh and delicate. +These mountains are on each side of the Arm, to its extremity, which +is nearly closed by a round, or conical hill, similarly covered with +trees; on either side of which you may enter into a valley, between +lofty rocks, and through which probably a small river or brook conveys +the surplus water of some lake or lakes lying farther up the country. +The solemn effect of the scenery was heightened by the absence of all +traces and signs of men or other animals; and the occasional scream of +a gull looking down upon us, made the general silence and solitude +more impressive. How prodigal is nature of her beauties and glories, +thus repeated and renewed in places where there is no one to admire, +and very few to see them!</p> + +<p><i>Tuesday, July 19th. Seal Cove, and at sea.</i>—The wind was not more +favourable to day than yesterday, except that it was not so strong; +but we thought it better to go out in the hope of some change, in the +mean time beating to windward. After standing across the bay and back, +a distance of nearly thirty miles (fourteen or fifteen each way), we +found we had only gained a mile and a half, and the next tack only +advanced us about as much more. The next time we stood across, the +wind tailed us altogether. This was trying work, especially to my +companions, who all felt the direful effect of the beating, and were +recumbent nearly the whole day, and sometimes worse; I, happily, was +able to read and write, and only grieved by the sad delay.</p> + +<p><span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_29" id="Page_29">[29]</a></span><i>Wednesday, July 20th. At sea.</i>—Dead calm nearly the whole day, with +occasional interludes of head-wind, which enabled us to run across the +bay, and make the unpleasant discovery that we had advanced, or +gained, only about five miles since we left our anchorage yesterday! +During the greater part of the day we were lying almost motionless. +Eight o'clock <span class="fakesc">P.M.</span> found us just where eight o'clock +<span class="fakesc">A.M.</span> had left us. A lesson in patience.</p> + +<p><i>Thursday, July 21st. At sea, and Hooping Harbour.</i>—After being +becalmed all night, a light breeze sprung up in our favour at four +o'clock <span class="fakesc">A.M.</span> (being then just off Little Cat Arm), which +sufficed to carry us into Hooping Harbour (about thirty-five miles) by +three o'clock <span class="fakesc">P.M.</span> Here are two families only, all the +members of which, four in one, and eight in the other, were +fortunately at home. One of the mothers is a Wesleyan, with all the +scruples of her denomination. She had taught her children the Lord's +Prayer, but could not teach them the Creed, because "it would be wrong +for them to say, 'I believe in God,' when they did not believe in Him, +which she perceived they did not." The truth, I imagine, was, she +could not say it herself. She did not like to be godmother to her +neighbour's children, because "she had sins enough of her own to +answer for; and she could not make a promise she knew she should not +perform." As she was the only grown-up woman in the place, except the +one whose children, with her own, were to be baptized, it was +necessary to overcome, if possible, these scruples, which was no easy +matter. And here <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_30" id="Page_30">[30]</a></span>were fresh complications. Some of the children of +both families had been baptized by a French priest, and no one could +say "with what words." Some had been baptized by a woman, some by a +fisherman. Painful it was to witness, or be certified of, such +complications and irregularities, more so to be in any degree +answerable for them, most of all to be expected to unravel and rectify +them in one visit of a few hours' duration, knowing too that they must +all be renewed and repeated. This is the only harbour in White Bay +where there are any French, and these, it is worthy of notice, have +come here within the last five years, since the two English families +established themselves in the place. On their arrival this year, the +French took up the Englishman's salmon nets, and prevented his fishing +for three weeks, until they were informed by the officer sent from St. +John's, that things were to remain this year as in the preceding, and +until matters were settled by the authorities. The poor Englishman +complains bitterly of being deprived of his three best weeks' fishery, +which, if they had been only as good as the subsequent ones, must have +been a serious loss. This day he took in his nets about a hundred +salmon, and speaks of this as an ordinary catch—and his nets are not +large or numerous. It would be very sad and shameful if this branch of +the fishery, which clearly was not contemplated in the treaties, +should be given up, either wholly or in part, to the French. This is +the last harbour in White Bay.</p> + +<p><i>Friday, July 22d. Hooping Harbour, at sea, and <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_31" id="Page_31">[31]</a></span>Englée.</i>—We weighed +anchor soon after four o'clock. The wind so light that our men were +obliged to tow for nearly two hours; then it breezed up ahead, and +gradually increased, till by the time we had beaten up to Canada Bay, +some nine miles, it blew very hard. However, the harder it blows, the +better the good Church-ship goes; and before one o'clock we had +beaten-round Englée Island, in Canada Bay (our next place of call), to +the mouth of the harbour. But as nobody was "acquainted," and the +description in the book of directions was not satisfactory, and it was +blowing half a gale, we fired a gun, which brought out a boat, with +two hands, who showed us the course in, and where to anchor. On being +informed who we were, and what was our object in visiting them, they +expressed much pleasure; but said it would be difficult, if not +impossible, to bring off the children in such heavy weather. We had +service at five o'clock, but it was blowing so furiously that only six +men and as many women could venture off, and they brought none of the +little children. I determined, therefore (though the delay is very +grievous), that I ought to remain here to-morrow, which will involve +Sunday also. There are two other families in this bay, with whom it +was impossible to communicate to-day, in this tempest. We had Evening +Prayers, with an address by myself. After the service I conversed with +the people, and found that some of the women (one of them a mother of +three children) had never before seen a clergyman, and never been in +any place of worship. It would be interesting to know what <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_32" id="Page_32">[32]</a></span>they +thought and felt at the first sight of a bishop and two clergymen in +their canonicals, and the Church-ship, and yet more at the first +hearing of the Word of God read and preached to them, and the prayers +of the Church.</p> + +<p><i>Saturday, July 23d. At Englée.</i>—Directly after breakfast my friends +went across Canada Bay (three miles) in the boat, to make known our +presence to a family on the other side, a man and wife with eleven +children. They returned soon enough for the Morning Service, which was +attended by most of the inhabitants. A young woman, married and a +mother, was, on her own petition and profession, received into the +Church, and her behaviour was very becoming and edifying. In the +afternoon, when her sister, nineteen years of age, was hypothetically +baptized, she was affected even to tears. They both could read, and +though they had never before seen a clergyman of their Church, or been +present at public worship, they appeared to have an intelligent and +devout sense of the sacred nature and importance of the Service. +Several others, chiefly children, were admitted; nearly all of whom +had been baptized by the French priests, who accompany year by year +the fishing vessels from France. They (the priests) had performed this +service, without any intention, as it seemed, of bringing either +children or parents into the Roman Catholic Church. In one of the +families was an idiot son, whom the parents were very anxious to have +baptized. He is grown up, and though harmless in other respects, uses +very dreadful language. I <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_33" id="Page_33">[33]</a></span>went on shore and visited one of the houses +of a family, the father and mother of which go to St. John's every +fall, and while there the woman is a regular attendant at the daily +Prayers in the Cathedral. It was gratifying to find the house very +clean and well ordered in the absence of both father and mother, who, +unfortunately, are gone to some distant fishing station for the +summer. The young women who showed so much apparent good feeling at +baptism, are their children. Here the people keep cows and sheep, and +live in much comfort, and we obtained a small supply of milk and fresh +meat: I had not tasted any meat, and only once fowl, for a fortnight. +We have had no fresh meat on board, and the fish and salmon, of which +we have abundance for nothing, is in my judgment better and more +wholesome (not to speak of economy) than the salted and preserved +meats. For the same period, or rather longer, we have had milk, and +that goat's, only once; and nobody complains, of the privation.</p> + +<p><i>Fifth Sunday after Trinity, July 24th. At Englée.</i>—The fifteenth +anniversary of my first Sunday in Newfoundland. Shame that this should +be my first, in these fifteen years, which I have given to Englée. And +what a contrast! Then I went from Government House in the Governor's +carriage, with His Excellency and Lady Harvey, to preach my first +sermon, and administer for the first time the Holy Communion (it was +the first Sunday in July) in my Cathedral Church. The occasion, with a +fine day, brought a crowded congregation. Here, on this fifteenth +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_34" id="Page_34">[34]</a></span>anniversary, I am at Englée in Canada Bay, on the French Shore, a +place inhabited by four families of fishermen, several of whom never +saw a clergyman or Church, very few of whom can read, not one able to +follow the order of Prayer intelligently, not one confirmed, not one +prepared to receive the Holy Communion, nearly half only yesterday +received into the Church. To make the contrast greater and more +dreary, the day is miserably wet and cold, so that several of the few +who otherwise could have attended, were unable to come on board the +Church-ship, on which the service was held, there being no convenient +place on shore. I celebrated the Holy Communion (as on every Sunday), +but no person partook of it except my own companions in the ship. The +only novel, or additional service, to mark more strongly the contrast +of time and place, was the conditional baptism of the poor idiot boy +on shore, between the Morning and Evening Prayers. He behaved very +well, knelt down and was quiet, and seemed to be quite aware that +something of solemn importance was being done. At the Evening Service +(the rain having abated) nearly all the inhabitants came on board. I +preached as usual, morning and evening. After the Evening Service, +children's books and tracts were distributed, and some Prayer-books +sold. Many inquiries were made about persons and subjects connected +with the Church in St John's. Such is the fifteenth anniversary of my +first Sunday, and first service in my Diocese; and if the day of small +things has come at the end rather than the beginning, who can tell +which <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_35" id="Page_35">[35]</a></span>shall be blessed, whether this or that, or whether both shall +be alike good?</p> + +<p><i>Monday, St. James's Day. Englée.</i>—I was not sorry to find this +morning that the wind was still ahead, so that we could observe the +holy day in harbour, and give my new disciples and children an +opportunity of again attending the service. This they did very gladly, +with my captain and crew, and I addressed them on the Gospel for the +day. It was strange to see grown-up people directed how and where to +find the places in their Prayer-books. In the afternoon the wind +seemed to veer in our favour, and about four o'clock we made an +attempt to leave; but the wind was unsteady and soon died away. After +Evening prayers, we rowed up to visit two Englishmen, who have lived +and fished together for fourteen years, without any family, or female, +in their house; the one a widower, the other a bachelor. One of them +comes from Southampton, the other from Ringwood. They are supposed to +have saved money, and might live in comfort elsewhere, but they prefer +this dreary, desolate existence, I presume, for the sake of their +worldly gains. I had but little time for conversing with them, but I +left them some tracts, &c. One of them has the reputation of a "fine +reader."</p> + +<p><i>Tuesday, July 26th. Englée.</i>—Another day of calm and trouble, +head-wind and heart-ache, for the delay is very grievous. In the +morning I visited all the people on shore, and in the afternoon they +all came on board to our service.</p> + +<p><i>Wednesday, July 27th. Englée, at sea.</i>—A light <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_36" id="Page_36">[36]</a></span>breeze sprung up in +our favour at seven o'clock, and at eight o'clock we were under way, +and cleared the Heads before ten o'clock. God be praised!</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<hr /> +<br /> + +<h3>PART II.—BAY OF ISLANDS.</h3> +<br /> + +<p><i>Seventh Sunday after Trinity, August 7th. At sea, and in Lark +Harbour, Bay of Islands.</i>—The wind continued to blow, and the sea to +rage and swell all night; and the rolling and dashing of the waves +against the side of the vessel were so incessant and violent that I +could hardly remain in my berth. At two o'clock the vessel was put +about, when I heard such a banging and thumping of the rudder, that I +ran on deck to ascertain the cause. I found the wheel deserted, there +being only two men on deck, and both engaged in hauling round the +yards. I took the wheel, in night-shirt and night-cap only, without +shoe or slipper, till the yards were round; fortunately not a long +operation. I turned in again till six o'clock, when I found we had +just weathered the southern entrance of the Bay of Islands; and, as +there was no change in the direction or force of the wind, I was very +thankful to have the prospect of a harbour, and of ministering to the +poor sheep in this bay, who have not seen a shepherd for four years. +We beat into Lark Harbour, against a violent head-wind, and did not +get to anchor till ten o'clock. The people on shore seemed to be +employed in turning their fish, <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_37" id="Page_37">[37]</a></span>and other daily labour; but on +sending to them, they expressed their readiness and desire to profit +by the services. We could not begin our morning service till twelve +o'clock, when the people had all come on board. Three children were +conditionally baptized. Evening service at half-past four o'clock, +after which three couples were married; one of these (couples) had +brought two children to be baptized at my first visit, <i>ten years +ago</i>; but it was nearly ten o'clock <span class="fakesc">P.M.</span>, and just as my +vessel was leaving the bay. The father, I remember, had gone a great +many miles to fetch his children, and showed great desire to have them +duly baptized, and was <i>now</i> equally anxious about his own marriage. I +had a good deal of conversation with some of the men, who seemed to +entertain a lively and grateful recollection of my former visit and +services.</p> + +<p><i>Monday, August 8th. Bay of Islands.</i>—The wind being very light I +determined to visit some of the settlements in this extensive bay in +my boat. Accordingly, Messrs. Johnson and Tucker, with one of the +sailors and a boy, rowed me to McIvor's Cove, where reside four +families, whom I have visited on each former occasion. They +accomplished the distance, about ten miles, in three hours. We arrived +at a quarter past one o'clock, after calling on the people, who all +recognised me, and with apparent pleasure; and desiring them to +prepare themselves and their children, and the best room, for a +service, we took our refreshment, which we had brought with us, in a +pretty green nook where a little river runs into <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_38" id="Page_38">[38]</a></span>the sea, using the +fallen trunk of a large tree for our table. It would have served for a +very large, or rather a very long party. We had our service in the +house of old Parks, who is mentioned in my Journal of 1849, as having +been visited by Archdeacon Wix. The children of three families were +brought to be received into the Church. It was very sad to witness the +ignorance, and almost imbecility, into which two of the three mothers, +who had been born and brought up in this wilderness, were fallen. The +third, who came from a distant settlement, and could read, was +different, and superior in every respect. One of the women, married +only five years, could not remember what her name was before marriage. +It would seem, too, as if the physical constitution degenerated with +the mental. Her child, which she brought to be baptized, had on one +hand two fingers, on the other only one, and on each foot only three +toes. I addressed them after the service; but I believe if my +discourse had been in Latin, it would have been as much, perhaps more, +attended to. The old woman began to talk to Mr. Johnson's little boy, +interrupting her own discourse and mine by occasionally telling the +dogs to "jump out," a command which from her, but her only, was always +obeyed; obeyed, but soon forgotten; for presently the same dog "jumped +in" again. The old man called for a match to light his pipe with, and +it was only by preventing his wish being complied with, that I could +engage his attention. After this painful service, and more painful +separation (for nothing could be more painful than <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_39" id="Page_39">[39]</a></span>to leave Christian +people in such ignorance and unconcern about their souls), we rowed +over to Frenchman's Cove (about two miles and a half), a lovely spot, +inhabited by two families of a better sort in knowledge and behaviour. +The men, unfortunately, were gone out, but they "would not have gone, +by no means, if they had known that his reverence was in the bay." The +women were very anxious to have their children duty baptized, and +listened with much earnestness to some words of advice and +instruction, and were very thankful for the books. Since my last visit +here a Nova-Scotian has built a store in this cove, and will be, I +greatly fear, a cause of misery to at least one of the families. I +admonished and exhorted him, and he thanked me for my advice like one +who had quite made up his mind not to regard it. I visited one of the +houses again, late in the evening, and heard one of the children, a +girl of ten or eleven years, say her prayers and Belief. I thought I +knew most of the varieties of</p> + +<div class="poem"><div class="stanza"> +<span class="i0">"Matthew, Mark, Luke and John,<br /></span> +<span class="i0">God bless the bed that I lie on," &c.;<br /></span> +</div></div> + +<p>but this Bay of Islands' edition contained additions which I had never +heard, and could not comprehend. And the poor mother, who stood by +(the girl kneeling), sadly perplexed and distressed me by asking +whether this and that was right. I had no difficulty in telling her +that it was not right, when her child, in repeating the Creed, went +straight, as I observed several others did, "I believe in God the +Father <span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_40" id="Page_40">[40]</a></span>Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth," to—"from thence He +shall come to judge the quick and the dead."</p> + +<p><i>Tuesday, August 9th. Bay of Islands, and at sea.</i>—It was grievous, +very grievous, to depart without visiting the other families about in +this bay—fully one hundred and twenty professed members of the +Church; but I dared not make any longer delay; and Frenchman's Cove, +where the Church-ship had joined us and was now anchored, is a +difficult place to get out of with a head-wind. It took us nearly +three hours to make our escape, not so much, however, through +head-wind as no wind. We had then to beat across the bay, and did not +reach the open sea till nearly six o'clock <span class="fakesc">P.M.</span> There we +found the old, unrelenting S.W. directly ahead, and soon got into a +heavy sea; a poor prospect for the night.</p> + +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<br /> +<hr /> +<span class='pagenum'><a name="Page_41" id="Page_41">[41]</a></span><br /> + +<h3>AN ACCOUNT</h3> + +<div

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS,' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6. INDEMNITY - You agree to indemnify and hold the Foundation, the +trademark owner, any agent or employee of the Foundation, anyone +providing copies of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works in accordance +with this agreement, and any volunteers associated with the production, +promotion and distribution of Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works, +harmless from all liability, costs and expenses, including legal fees, +that arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you do +or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project Gutenberg-tm +work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any +Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any Defect you cause. + + +Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need, is critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org. Email contact links and up to date contact +information can be found at the Foundation's web site and official +page at http://www.gutenberg.org/about/contact + +For additional contact information: + Dr. Gregory B. Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/pglaf + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. +To donate, please visit: http://www.gutenberg.org/fundraising/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart is the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + +Each eBook is in a subdirectory of the same number as the eBook's +eBook number, often in several formats including plain vanilla ASCII, +compressed (zipped), HTML and others. + +Corrected EDITIONS of our eBooks replace the old file and take over +the old filename and etext number. The replaced older file is renamed. +VERSIONS based on separate sources are treated as new eBooks receiving +new filenames and etext numbers. + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org">http://www.gutenberg.org</a> + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + +EBooks posted prior to November 2003, with eBook numbers BELOW #10000, +are filed in directories based on their release date. If you want to +download any of these eBooks directly, rather than using the regular +search system you may utilize the following addresses and just +download by the etext year. + +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/etext06/</a> + + (Or /etext 05, 04, 03, 02, 01, 00, 99, + 98, 97, 96, 95, 94, 93, 92, 92, 91 or 90) + +EBooks posted since November 2003, with etext numbers OVER #10000, are +filed in a different way. The year of a release date is no longer part +of the directory path. The path is based on the etext number (which is +identical to the filename). The path to the file is made up of single +digits corresponding to all but the last digit in the filename. For +example an eBook of filename 10234 would be found at: + +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/0/2/3/10234 + +or filename 24689 would be found at: +http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/2/4/6/8/24689 + +An alternative method of locating eBooks: +<a href="http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL">http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/GUTINDEX.ALL</a> + +*** END: FULL LICENSE *** +</pre> +</body> +</html> diff --git a/19301-h/images/quote.jpg b/19301-h/images/quote.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..37d52c3 --- /dev/null +++ b/19301-h/images/quote.jpg |
