LABRADOR.
Its Fascinating I?rocei?*lon of Colo?
?ul. Fan turn tie loi'lter^t.
It is the icebergs that mako I.abradoi
fascinating. They greet you when you
steam out of > lie strait of Belle Isle,
llie northern gateway of the gulf of
St. Lawrence* ami head uorthward up
the coast oT Labrador. They come
floating froui tor north, au endless pro
cesslou, all shapes, fantastic, colossal,
staluestpie, even grotesque- a magnify
cent assemblage of crystal domes and
turrets and marble fortresses. Your
steamer picks its way carefully among
lliem lesv-:hcy be Jealous of her iutru
siou and fall over upon her. And in
the midst of this glorious company you
come to Rattle Harbor.
The settlement is on an island per
haps "00 yards in diameter, which Is
the outpost of a larger island, and
plows the waves of the ocean like the
prow of some gigantic ocean liner. In
storms the spray leaps almost across
its ledgy surface. A cove hides behind
the bluff sea wall, and on its rim nes
tles a tiny village of whitewashed cot
tages. You climb tin- hill lo the look
out. Away to the north and south
spreads out the vast procession of the
icebergs. Th**y come out of llie north,
the fog surrounding their lops and
streaming like smoke from their piu
uaclcs. They move slowly southward,
perhaps three or four miles a day.
Some go directly south down the New
foundland coast, some turn west as
they approach the strait and are swept
by the tide into the irult* of St. Law
rence.
Hay by day l'rotn the hilltop you note
their slow progress. Kach day sees
new forms emerging on the northern
horizon, while old, familiar bulks are
lost to view in the sou ill. Kach month's
icebergs are natives of a more northern
region. Hence the bergs of the late
summer, though fewer in number, arc
individually larger than those of the
earlier part of the season, because they j
have been longer in the making, com i
lug from farther north.
June's icebergs are Labrador's own
product and have broken off from the
Ice field that has tilled the bays and
extended far into the oeeau In the pre
vlous winter. July's bergs conie from
Rattin Lain), while the huge bulks ot
August are natives of Kane bay aud
the far northern rim of Greenland,
where man has never been.? \\. B.
