DR.. GRENFELL'S LIFE
Career of Heroic Service Full Of
Many Dangers.
Sails ock-StreWn Seas Like the vlk
Ing Of OId-In Twenty Years He
Has Accomplished Much
for People Of North.

= New York.-With the visit to this
city recently Of DR.. Wilfred T. Grenfell
many interesting facts concerning the
work done by the famous missionary
in Newfoundland and Labrador were
disclosed
More than twenty years ago Doctor
Grenfell left England in a staunch lit
tie mission ship bound for Labrador.
When Doctor Grenfell reached Labra-
dor in 1892 he found about 5000 per.
manent residents, or ''liveyeres." as
they are called locally. The summer
fishing fleet from Newfoundland and
the surrounding country brought the
inhabitants to about $4,000 men and
women.
They had little education and made
Quate food and clothing. Medical and
surgical aid was almost unobtainable.
In the score of years that have passed
since Doctor Grenfell entered Labrador
he has developed the social. economic.
educational and religious life of the
isolated people of the Far North and
has been the means of bringing med
ical aid and instruction in sanitation.
One Of his ideals was to erect a
building for the visiting seamen. For
ten years Doctor Grenfell lectured and
set aside such funds as he could spare
from the rapidly growing demands Of
the already established interests. In
order that he could provide some suit
able home for the Jack" ashore.
His aim was finally accomplished
and there now stands in st. Johns
Newfoundland. the King George v.
Seamen's institute. The building was
planned as a home and club house.
and since its opening has been used
by a large number Of seamen. The
institute was opened on December
10. 1912.
On Sunday afternoons and nights

felrs mother, is used for church serv-

The house was built in 1874. and its
appearance has undergone practically
no change. It was the third Dyck-

they owned more acres than scores
of old city families which have been
credited with great land posses
sions.
Jan Dyckman was the ancestor of
the Manhattan island family Of that
name. History states that he Joined
his Dutch neighbors in the little set
Element around the fort in 1866. when
the town had just come under Eng
lish rule. Perhaps that IL one reason
which induced Jan to get as far away
as he could from the English rulers
and yet remain on the island. for less
than ten years later he was the owner
OF several hundred acres at the north
ern extremity, bordering Spuyten
Duyvil.
There, for over two hundred years
the Dyckmans lived. exemplifying to
the minutest detail the traditional
characteristics of the Dutch in frugal
ity, industry. simple yet generous hos
pitality, and the art Of minding their
own business. When necessity de-
manded they served the city as alder
men or constables. and they were al
ways active in furthering the best in

Later members Of the family added
to the broad acres acquired by the
original arrival, and at one time near
ly the entire tract Of fertile meadow

the Dyckmans.
The first Dyckman farmhouse stood
in the upper part Of the tract near
Spuyten Duyvil creek. 1t was a small
house, later replaced by large build
