E-text prepared by the Canadian Institute for Historical Microreproduction, Wallace McLean, David Garcia, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team
"Dangers on the Ice Off the Coast of Labrador" by Anonymous is a historical account written in the late 18th century. This book chronicles the harrowing experiences of Moravian missionaries as they navigate the treacherous ice and severe conditions native to Labrador while attempting to reach various settlements. The narrative emphasizes not only the physical dangers posed by the icy terrain and severe weather but also the missionaries' encounters with the local Esquimaux and their gradual conversion efforts. The book recounts a specific journey made by missionaries Liebisch and Turner as they travel from Nain to Okkak. Faced with an unexpected storm, they contend with shifting ice, violent seas, and the struggle for survival which intensifies throughout their ordeal. Despite the many perils, the missionaries display resilience and faith, ultimately finding refuge after a series of miraculous escapes from disaster. The narrative also paints a picture of their mission work in the region, illustrating the complexities of communicating with the Esquimaux and portraying instances of spiritual awakening among the natives. This account serves as both an adventure tale and a testament to the missionaries' dedication to their faith and the challenges they faced in spreading their message.
