HELPED GRENFELL
Yale Men Spent Summer in
Labrador Working in Mis-
sionary Hospitals.
LONG VOYAGE BY BOAT
Three Weeks Crossing from Glouces.
ter to Battle Harbor In Fogs
Home Again.

A party of Yale men have Just re-
turned from trip to Labrador where
they went early in the summer follow
ing the appeal made here year ago
by DR.. Grenfell, the missionary ply
sician there. In the party were scov-
ille Clark, 90. Sheldon Yates. TO- j.
Roland II, Robert ]. Carpenter II and
c. Richardson 10 S. They report a sum-
mer OF very satisfactory work. ending
with a long walking tour
The summer for some of the men
was spent mainly in DR., Grenfells hos
pital. On July the party left Glou-
cester and In 36-foot boat, schooner
rig. the "Pomlock" sailed through a
dense fog to Battle Harbor, the voy-
age taking until July %. The boat
was equipped with a kerosene engine
and besides the Yale men the only one
aboard was a Gloucester fisherman,
who went as skipper.
Tire voyage was a tough one and had
the effect of slightly dampeuing the
ardor of the students. Immediately af-
ter landing at Battle Harbor Richard
sun hllu Carpenter uftlltu lfdl IL
would be pleasanter to spend the bal
ance Of the summer In America than
In the desert country they had reach
ed, SO Immediately returned. Rowland
sailed u pthe ocast with Dir. Grenfel's
steamer assisting him treating the fish
eiman and traders along the shore. Ev-
cry summer DR. Grenfell goes up the
coast, taking care of those who are un-
able TO come to his hospital
Yates and Clark continued alone
across the straits of Belle Isle to st
Anthony on the north east coast of
New Foundland There DR. Grenfells
hospital Is located and Clark spent the
remainder of the summer caring for
the sick in the hospital while Yates did
other work outside.
The principal disease from which the
fishermen of Labrador suffer is tuber-
culosis. DIR, Grenfel's work has been
along the line of bettering sanitary
in fair way of becoming practically
stamped out But the hospital staff
has much other work to do besides
treating diseases. Hundreds of fisher
men come In to have cuts treated and
to have pieces of knives and fishbone
removed from their flesh.
The people of Labrador treated the
Yale men with the utmost courtesy and
for hospitality the people of that dreary
land surpass the Homeric Greeks. A
person Is not supposed to pass a house
without FIRST enter ~ and partaking of
some refreshments. The people are
very simple and sincere Their ances-
tors came from EnG1and about 200
years ago, and without the improve
ments which are found In the other
parts of the world the people have
dropped back. Cod fishing Is the prn-
ciple occupation and the fish is the
principle article Of diet There Is no
fresh meat and there are no vegeta-
bles.
Clark and Yates left Labrador Au-
gust 80 for the United States, DR., Gren-
fell hopes that more Yale men will fol-
low in the footsteps Of these pioneers.
