Excerpt from The New Priest in Conception Bay, Vol. 1 Towards the eastern end of Newfoundland, two of these great bays, called Trinity and Placentia, come ih, from opposite sides, north and south, and almost out the island through; an isthmus only three or four miles Wide, in one part, keeping them still asunder. Up one of these bays, and down the other, crossing the neck between, the telegraph-cable has been drawn. Inland, surrounded by a fringe of small forests on the coast, is a vast wilderness of moss, and rock, and lake, and dwarf firs about breast-high. These little trees are so close and stiff, and flat-topped, that one can almost walk them; of course they are very hard things to make way through and among.
