ADRIFT ON AN ICE-PAN. By Wilfred
ThOmasOn Grenfell, NJ. ID. tOxon), C.
NJ. G. Illustrated from photographs
by DIR. Grenfell and others. E:oston: :
Houghton, Mifflin Company.
DR.. Grenfell has become known to the
people of both Europe and the United
States as one Of the most devoted of
modern missionaries. He left a life or
comfort and prospective affiuence to de-
vote himself to the spiritual and physical
welfare of the fishermen of the North
sea, where he established a medical mis-
sion. Later he sought forbidding but
to him more inviting field on the barren
coast of Labrador. where he has done a
work that has won the admiration of
millions of people. In this little volume
he tells modestly and dramatically the
story of how he was rescued from Ger
tain death on an ice-pan by some of the
fishermen Of the coast He was on his
way to attend a young man suffering
from a dangerous ailment when he with
his dogs was caught on bit of floating
slush ice. where he was prisoned for
many hours. His rescue was effected
just in season to prevent his death. There
is something infinitely appealing in the
short account, which follows DR.. Gren-
felrs own story, of the rescue in the
words of George Andrews, one of the crew
who took him from the ice-pan. 1t dis
closes the boundless affection entertained
for this man of devoted zeal for his fel-
lows on the part of the objects of his self
sacrificing services.

friend upon the road to Arden with the
assistance of two fat little ponies. Ar

To Arden is a scene of other encounters
all conyerging upon a romantic climax.
The author develops her theme delicately
and with. an exquisite taste.

commonly knewn as The Wonderful

These alone would make his memory
secure.
Few people who read the merry meters
of the "One-Hoss Shay suspect that
there is anything more to 1t than appears
on the surface. Yet. if credible critics
deeply into theological controversy with
this comic poem. His antipathy to Cal
whist doctrine is apparent throughout
his works, although his father had been
an orthodox Congregational clergyman
and the "One-Hoss Shay was a SYM
bolic presentation of how the impreg-
nable logic Of Jonathan Edwards would
come to smash.
The poem is simply another illustration
of Holmes humorous gravity. or grave
humor-the faculty that burst into laugh
ter on the Charles river bridge. We can
understand. also, knowing this. why so
discriminating a writer as Barrett Wen
dell should place Holmes alongside of
Votaire in the worlds literature.
Yet such a comparison is unjust, be-
cause Holmes never displayed the sar-
donic savagery of the Ferney sage.
Holmes was genial and gentle. and be-
longs rather with Charles Lamb. The
Breakfast Table series. beginning with
the "Autocrat" in 1857 and closing with
Over the Teacup' in 1890. is nearly re-
lated to the Essays of Ella And had
he written none of his poems Holmes
would live by these delightful books. As
Thomas Wentworth Higginson has said,
Evening star., 1909-08-28

..He is likely to stand as one of the few
great humoristS of the world
He shared with Lamb a taste for afro
cious puns. The very first paper of the
"Autocrat' is full of them, although IT
likens punsters to people who put coppers
on railroad track. They amuse them
selves and other children, but their little
trick may upset freight train of con-
for the sake of a battered wit

1t may serve 10 excuse DIR. Holmes that
Shakespeare was just as fond of pun
ming, and even the grave philosopher,
Bacon. declared himself to be descended
from 'Og, king OF Bashan-an argument
the Baconians have overlooked hitherto
in their efforts to show that Bacon wrote
Shakespeare. -~r. Holmes, as we have
seen, could be serious enough upon oc-
casion, and his first famous poem was an
appeal to patriotic pride.
Edward Everett Hale. who died only a
few months ago. recalled how, as little
boy at school, he used to spout the lines:

though Winter knew Holmes by sight and
watched him with admiring interest.
Holmes was walking along very slowly in
a pensive mood. his face grave
could be. when suddenly, with no appar-
ent reason he burst into laughter and
his countenance became radiant with
mirth.''
1t is thus in the poems and essays upon
which DR.. Holmes fame is founded. They
breathe the quality which Matthew Arnold
called the high seriousness of absolute
sincerity" yet unaccountably and uneX-
pectedly. like the crack of a whip. there
comes bright smile and breeze Of
merriment. Heine does the same thing.
but his seriousness is bitter and his laugh
cynical Holmes is always healthy and
happy.
Now that a hundred years have passed
since his birth-he was born August 20,
1900. in a gambrel-roofed house at Cam
bridge torn down long ago to make
more room for the university-now that
his centenary is upon US people are ask
ing whether Holmes fame will endure
or wane. The question seems almost ri
diculous. He wrote the most popular of
our patriotic poems 'Old Ironsides": the
most beautiful of our philosophical
poems, 1.-The Chambered Nautilus" and
the most perennial of our humorous
poems, The Deacon's Masterpiece"
