 " You are aware that I have ceased 
 for some years to forward to the Society the 
 JoTiinals of my Voyages of Visitation.* It did 
 not appear to me that the cause of the Society, 
 or of my diocese, would be much advanced, or 
 individuals much interested or edified by detailed 
 reports of visits and services with which those 
 who had read the former Journals would be 
 familiar. 
 
 "The sad state of religious destitution in many 
 settlements in Newfoundland and Labrador had 
 been, I thought, sufficiently shown; and the 
 benefits and blessing conferred, and to be con-

 ferred, by the Society, thankfully stated and 
 fully demonstrated. 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, with- 
 out any particular mention of the condition 
 of the inhabitants, and other incidents of the 
 voyage. 
 
 " 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 befoie 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 per- 
 mission, 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 sys- 
 tematized by their Government, are on such an 
 
PREFATORY LETTER. 
 
 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 pro- 
 ductive, not only in fish, but in game, and occa- 
 sionally 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 them- 
 selves widely, with the view of obtaining the 
 means of subsistence in larger abimdance 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 ^Ye months in the year, in any vessel 
 larger than a boat, it is exceedingly difficult to 
 minister to, or visit the inhabitants. Neverthe- 
 less, I have been enabled, by the aid of my 
 Church-ship, to visit, at intervals of four years, 
 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 mission- 
 aries stationed for several years ; and great, in 
 consequence, is the change, great the improve- 
 ment in the residents. Here, I have been ena- 
 bled, as in other parts of the island} to celebrate

 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 neighbour- 
 hood, 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 con- 
 dition, 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 work 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. 
 
 " I have added the account of two days in the 
 Bay of Islands, a locality only so far more

 liappily 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. The circumstances of both, or of 
 either, will, I think, justify the application of 
 an apostle's question to him — to any one — who, 
 having an abundance of spiritual goods, can see 
 the need of these his brethren, and shut up his 
 compassion from them; — 'How dwelleth the 
 love of Christ in him ?'

EXTRACTS FROM A JOURNAL. 
 
 PART I.— WHITE BAY. 
 
 Thursday, July 7th. At sea, and Little Harbour Deeji. 
 — 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

 (which proves, however, to be nearly three miles dis- 
 tant) very early to-morrow morning, and acquaint 
 them with our presence, and our intention to have 
 services on board the Church-ship. 
 
 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-Islandfc, lying several miles 
 from the shore, surrounded for months by ice. . 
 I 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 ft 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 pro- 
 mised us finer ones to-morrow. They expressed 
 much pleasure at the prospect of attending the ser- 
 vices, and of having their youngest child christened 
 or admitted into the Church. All had been baptiaed j 
 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) ex- 
 cept this youngest. They Ifeft us about 10.30 p.m., 
 after attending our family prayers in the cabin.

 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. John- 
 son 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. 
 
 The congregation, in the morning, consisted of 
 only the two families (Wiseman and Bandall) and 
 our captain. In the afternoon (4.30 p.m.), our crew 
 also attended. One girl was hypothetically baptized, 
 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 
 
 /■i

 lessons or sermon. After the seryice, one man bought 
 a Prayer-book for bis 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. 
 
 After the second service, I accompanied my friends 
 in a boat to the head of the harbour, where it re- 
 ceives a small stream (the drain of some lake, or of 
 the bogs and mosses in the neighbourhood), which 
 winds and creeps between some magnificent moun- 
 tains. 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. 
 
 We returned to the ship soon after sunset, fright- 
 fully 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.

 bour Deep soon after three o'clock a.m., 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 P.M. 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 en- 
 trance; 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, some- 
 times of the crew, sometimes of the clergy, we main- 
 tained our ground until, about eleven o'clock, a 
 breeze sprung 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.

 two of which are returned in the census as Method- 
 ists, the other two Ohurch 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 chil- 
 dren, and a sick man (a Boman 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 johildren admitted into the Ghureh. 
 The Gospel for the Sunday gave me occasion ^o 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 aetray, 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 vidited 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 twelye years of age) could not say the Lord's

 prayer. At familj ptayer, in the eyening, I 
 addressed my crew, and explained to them the object 
 of my Toyage, 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. 
 Monday, J%ly Wtk, IMiU Con^ Arm, at sea, 
 and Bear Cove, — Sailed from Little Coney Arm at 
 four o'clock A.M., wind light, but fair for erossing 
 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 recep- 
 tion 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 (20«.) 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 diffi- 
 culty all were got together and duly arranged tA,' 
 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 cler- 
 gyman, 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 bap- 
 tised or not ? Of all it was answered they had been 
 
 w

 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 hypo- 
 thetical 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 settle- 
 
 . ment 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 dis- 
 missed as I was to dismiss them. Poor people I the 
 fair faces of the children would have moved the 
 admiration of a Gregory ; and the destitute, forsaken

 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 com- 
 mitted to his charge. But what can I do more for 
 them, and, alas 1 for many others almost equally des« 
 titute 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 till 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. 
 Tuesday f July \2th. At Bear Cove^ at sea, at 
 JackscnCs Arm, and at Sop's Island. — ^We warped 
 out of Bear Cove, there being then no wind, at five 
 o'clock A.M., 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 medi- 
 cine. 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 accord- 
 ingly. We then weighed anchor again at 12.30, to 
 beat to Sop's Island, which we reached between three

 and four o'clock. We landed immediately with our 
 poor fisherman's wili?, 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 then\ at five o'clock, not, how- 
 ever, 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.«rohn's, a small dealer or merchant, who has re- 
 sided here for several years, has kept up some remem- 
 brance 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

 several married. When he saw mj 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. 
 
 Wednesday, July 1 Sth. Sop* 8 lAland, at sea, and 
 at Gold Cove. — 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 ad- 
 mitted into the Church : all had been baptized by 
 lay hands. Two women, neighbours, had each bap- 
 tized 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 pur- 
 chased. 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

 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. 
 
 Thursday, July lUh. At Gold Cove. — 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. Never- 
 theless, 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

 been 
 
 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. 
 
 Friday f July 15tk, Gold Cove, at sea, Purbeck 
 Cove. — 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,

 8|ilmon, 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 oared 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 lucra- 
 tive ; late in the fall the deer are slaughtered ; and 
 in the winter other game, with foxes, martens, <bc., 
 < afford sport and means of subsistence. Seeing several 
 boats fishing outside, I despatched my friends to in- 
 form 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 com- 
 municate with parties living above and below. All, 
 though the fishery was at its height, accepted the 
 
 invitation, and Mr. 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

 daughter as " a terrible girl " to say h^r Creed and 
 Lord's Prayer, and some of the Commandments ; and 
 ".that hymn you sung below (Eyeniog Hymn) she 
 knows he, but she lipa (lisps), so she's ashamed before 
 strangers." Another woman, after surveying with 
 much admiifttion a large alphabet-sheet (ad 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 
 pieeting and intercourse, after so long delay, and 
 with so little prospect of being renewed, should be 
 so short, when so many important things b^d to be 
 done, and alas ! so many left undone I 
 
 Saturday, July IQth. Furbeck Cove, at sea, and 
 Seal Cove. — At five o'clock sent letters on board Mr. 
 
 C 's vessel, to be forwarded vid Greenspond to 
 
 8t. 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 p.m., 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's Cove to profit by the Sunday ser-

 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. Tlie winds have been generally fair, the 
 weather always fine ; the people, without exception, 
 grateful for our visits and services. Ninety-two per- 
 sons of various ages have been formally received into 
 the Church ; eight couples married ; one person ad- 
 mitted to the Lord's Supper ; nearly one hundred 
 and eighty of all ages have been present at the ser- 
 vices. The bread has been cast upon the waters, 
 may it be found. 
 
 Fourth Sunday after Trinity^ July \lth. Seal 
 Cove. — 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), wL'-^h he had carefully 
 fenced, and was anxious to have consecrated. The

 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 Twill- 
 ingate to be christened {i.e. 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, " had 
 been very well haptizedy* i.e. by a man who could read 
 well, the third case did not satisfy him. This was 
 told ua 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 em- 
 ployed to baptise many children in the bay, was a 
 servant in a fisherman*s family. 
 
 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 j they had before been united by a fisher- 
 man, 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. 
 
26

 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 super- 
 abundant. 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 con- 
 tented. His nearest neighbours (at Lobster Harbour)

 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. 
 
 Monday y July 18^A. At Seal Cove. — 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 ex- 
 plained "the articles of our Belief, the Ten Com- 
 mandments, 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 aln^ost 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

 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 im- 
 pressive. 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 ! 
 Tuesday y July \^th. Seal Covey and at sea. — 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 failed 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.

 Wednesday, July 20th. At sea. — 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 I During the greater part of 
 the day we were lying almost motionless. Eight 
 o'clock p. M. found- us just where eight o'clock a.m. 
 had left us. A lesson in patience. 
 
 Thursday J July 2 1 s<. At sea, and Hooping Harbour. 
 — After being becalmed all night, a light breeze sprung 
 up in our favour at four o'clock a.m. (being then just 
 off Little Cat Arm), which sufficed to carry us into 
 Hooping Harbour (about thirty-five miles) by three 
 o'clock P.M. 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 god- 
 mother to her neighbour's children, because " she had 
 sins enough of her own to answer for ; and she could 
 not make a promise shoknew 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 
 
 ij

 i 
 
 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 them- 
 selves 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 con- 
 templated in the treaties, should be given up, either 
 wholly or in part, to the French. This is the last 
 harbour in White Bay,

 EngUe. — 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 EngUe 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 j but said it would be diffi- 
 cult, 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, there- 
 fore (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

 they thought and felt at the first sight of a bishop 
 and two clergymen in their canonicals, and the Ohurch- 
 ship, and yet more at the first hearing of the Word 
 of God read and preached to them, and the prayers of 
 the Church, 
 
 Saturday y July 23(i. At Englee. — 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, nine- 
 teen 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

 clean and well ordered in the ahsence 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 whole- 
 some (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 j

 Fifth Sunday after Trinity ^ July 2ith. At EngUe. 
 — 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 Englee. 
 And what a contrast 1 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 anni- 
 
34 
 
 ENGL^E HARBOUR. 
 
 versary, I am at Engl6e in Canada Bay, on the French 
 Shcfre, 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 plftce 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 anni- 
 versary of my first Sunday, and first service ill my 
 Diocese ; and if the day of small things has come at 
 the end rather than the beginning, who can tel! which

 shall be blessed, whether this or th^t, or whether both 
 shall be alike good ? 
 
 Monday i St. Jameses Day. ^Englee. — 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 gro>yn-up people directed how and 
 where to fipd the places in their Prayer-book?. 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 sajte 
 of their worldly gains. I had but little time for con- 
 versing with them, but I left them some tracts, <&c. 
 One of them has the reputation of a ** fine reader." 
 
 Tuesday, July 26th. Englee. — 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 2\\ 
 came on board to our service.

 PART II.— BAY OF ISLANDS. 
 
 Seventh Sunday after Trinity j August 7th. A t «ea, 
 and in Lark Harhour^ Bay of Islands. — 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.

 and other daily labour ; but on sending to them, they 
 expressed their readir )S8 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, ten years ago; but it was nearly ten o'clock 
 P.M., 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 now equally anxious 
 about his own marriage. I had a good deal of con- 
 versation with some of the men, who seemed to en- 
 tertain a lively and grateful recollection of my former 
 visit and services. 
 
 Monday J August Sth. Bay of Islands. — The wind 
 being very light I determined to visit some of the 
 settlements in this extensive bay in my boat. Ac- 
 cordingly, Messrs. Johnson and Tucker, with one of 
 the sailors and a boy, rowed me to Mclvor's Cove, 
 where reside four families, whom I have visited on 
 each former occasion. They accomplished the dis- 
 tance, 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

 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 
 diflferent, and superior in every respect. One of the 
 women, married only five years, could not remember 
 what her uame 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 «hree toes. I ad- 
 dressed 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, interrupt- 
 ing 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 oU 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 atten- 
 tion. After this painful service, and more painful 
 separation (for nothing could be more painful than 
 
BAT OF IHLANDS.

 to leave Christian people in such ignorance and un- 
 concern about their souls), we rowed over to French- 
 man'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 duly baptized, and listened with much 
 earnestness to some words of advice and instruction, 
 and were very thankful for the books. Since my last 
 vi^it 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 ex- 
 horted him, and he thanked me for my advice like 
 one who had quite made up his mind not to regard 
 it. I viuited 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 
 
 " Matthew, Mark, Luke' and John, 
 God bless the bed that I lie on," &;c.; 
 
 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 kneel- 
 ing), 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

 Tuesday, August %th. Bay of Islands, and at sea. — 
 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 French- 
 man's Co\e, 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 p,M. There we found the old, unrelenting 
 S.W. directly ahead, and soon got into a heavy sea ; 
 a poor prospect for the night.
