EST AUDUBON'S LABRADOR 



rocky hill which rises on the north to a height 

 of five or six hundred feet. On a spur above 

 the hospital is a Marconi wireless station. 

 Across the harbor to the south is the low-lying 

 Fox Island with its cluster of homes and fish- 

 houses. Opposite this to the east across a nar- 

 row passage is Gull Cliff Island with its high 

 cliff facing the west. Here also are about a 

 dozen houses, while on Shag Island, that forms 

 the southeastern barrier for the harbor, there 

 appears to be only one dwelling-house. 



The hospital itself was neat, well arranged, 

 and thoroughly modern in its equipments. 

 The operating-room had a good light, and con- 

 tained modern tables, sterilizers, and so forth. 

 The wards were bright and cheerful, and each 

 bed was marked with the name of the gener- 

 ous supporter. The verandas arranged as sun- 

 rooms opened on the south to a beautiful view 

 on this lovely summer's day. I could imagine 

 the wonderful prospect in winter over snow- 

 and-ice-covered rock and sea, all sparkling in 

 the sun. 



Harrington is the westernmost of the chain 

 of hospitals established by Dr. Grenfell. One
