8o Report of the Broivn-Harvard Expedition. 



September lo. — Hebron (6 a. m.) to Cutthroat Tickle 

 (5 p. M.), 71 miles. 



September 11. — Start 7.30 a. m. At 10 a. m. arrive off 

 Port Manvers and attempt to beat in ; but outgoing tide and 

 unfavorable wind prevent. Continue on, therefore, to Black 

 Island, to inquire if Webb and Ford there have any recent 

 knowledge of the two we left at Manvers. Return later to 

 Port Manvers, anchoring therein at 5 p. m. Bigelow and 

 McCornick rejoin the schooner. Their month here has been 

 pleasant and uneventful. Distance sailed, to-day, 66 miles. 



September 12. — Port Manvers (11.30 a. m.) to John's 

 Harbor, near south end of Aulatsivik (8 p. m.), 30 miles. 



September 13. — John's Harbor (7 a. m.) to Nain (5 

 p. M.), 22, miles. We put into Nain instead of continuing 

 directly southward, for the purpose of visiting a mine of lab- 

 radorite on Taber's Island, a dozen miles from Nain. At 

 Nain we found Dr. Grenfell, of the Labrador Medical Mis- 

 sion, who kindly offered to take us in his steamer, the "Strath- 

 cona," to Taber's Island on the following day. Of Dr. Gren- 

 fell and his splendidly conducted mission I shall speak again 

 (Section VI). The generous courtesy he showed us is char- 

 acteristic of the man, and was a great saving of time to us. 



September 14. — Schooner proceeds to Ford Harbor, 20 

 miles. Members of expedition accompany Dr. Grenfell to 

 Taber's Island, where specimens of labradorite are secured, 

 and rejoin the schooner in the afternoon at Ford Harbor. 



September 15. — Ford Harbor (5 a. m.) to Quirk Tickle 

 (5 p. M.), 26 miles. 



September 16. — Quirk Tickle (6.30 a. m.) to Hopedale 

 (4 p. M.), 53 miles. Secure our first mail and papers since 

 our previous call here, August 6th.
