Voyage Northward From St Johns Aboard The Plover
In a July voyage from St Johns aboard the Plover bound for northern ports, the narrator notes mail schedules and ministerial hardships from Conference to missions. The route covers Conception Bay to Cape Bonavista, with stops at Old Perlican, Trinity, Cataline, Bonavista, Greenspond, Hamilton Inlet, and Fogo Island before Twillingate, where icebergs loom and danger rises amid majestic scenery.
