Dedication For my mother, Charlotte Mary (Mae) Edwards Chinn Always a Newfoundlander

Epigraph ‘The huge island … stands, with its sheer, beetling cliffs, out of the ocean, a monstrous mass of rock and gravel, almost without soil, like a strange thing from the bottom of the great deep, lifted up, suddenly, into sunshine and storm, but belonging to the watery darkness out of which it has been reared; the eye, accustomed to richer and softer scenes, finds something of a strange and almost startling beauty in its bold, hard outlines, cut out on every side, against the sky.’ – Robert Traill Spence Lowell, nineteenth-century American missionary
