APPENDIX B 

 SPIRITUAL AGENCIES IN LABRADOR, 



SINCE JULY, 1892, AT WHICH TIME WE ARRIVED 

 ON THE COAST 



THERE is a Wesleyan missionary fifty miles west 

 of Battle, at Red Bay. To visit all round his 

 circuit and return must involve 250 to 300 miles' 

 travelling. It must be remembered all this visiting 

 is done in a small open boat in summer, at great risk 

 in so dangerous a place as the Straits of Belle Isle ; 

 and in winter over the ice with a komatik and team 

 of dogs. The Rev. J. Sidey was there three years, 

 and is now replaced by Rev. J. Antle. 



At Battle Harbour, as is well known to our readers, 

 there is a wooden church, but it has been in charge 

 of a young teacher and lay reader since we have 

 been on the coast. 



At Cartwright, thirty miles up Sandwich Bay, is 

 another wooden church and schoolroom combined. 

 Here also is a lay reader and schoolmaster. This 

 would be about 150 miles up the coast from Battle 

 Harbour. The sphere of work does not, I think, 

 extend at all outside Sandwich Bay.
