Grenfell has often said, the Labradorman is a fountain of faith and hope and inspiration. If the fishing season is a failure he turns to his winter's trapping with unwavering faith that it will yield him well. If his trapping fails his hope and faith are none the less when he sets out in the spring to hunt seals. Seals may be scarce and the reward poor, but never mind!
I'll show un to you after we eats, though he's on the dryin' board and you can't see the fur of he." We bowed our heads while the host asked the blessing. The Labradorman rarely omits the blessing, and often the meal is closed with a final thanks, for men of the wilderness live near to God. He is very near to them and they reverence Him. "Help yourself, sir! Help yourself!"
And I shall be glad. Ha! but here's a cheery little gale of wind blowing up the path. 'Tis my nephew coming from my father's wharf. Davy, they call him. The sturdy, curly-pated, blue-eyed lad Labradorman, every luscious inch of him: without a drop of weakling blood in his stout little body! There's jolly purpose in his stride in his glance at my window. 'Tis a walk on the Watchman, I'll be bound!
It is a strange fact that one never recognizes a great deal of danger in the life that one is accustomed to living, no matter how perilous it may seem to others. If a Labradorman were to come to any of our towns or cities his heart would be in his mouth at every turn, for a time at least, dodging automobiles and street cars.
It made more certain his catch of cod, and therefore lessened the possibility of winters of privation. It is interesting to know how the fishermen of The Labrador catch cod. It may be worth while also to explain that when the Labradorman or Newfoundlander speaks of "fish" he means cod in his vocabulary. A trout is a trout, a salmon is a salmon and a caplin is a caplin, but a cod is a fish.
