Synopsis
Excerpt from The New Priest in Conception Bay, Vol. 1
Up go the surges on the coast of Newfoundland, and down, again, into the sea. The huge island, in which the scene of our story lies, 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.
There came up with, or after it, but never yet got to open air, those mountain-sisters, that, holding their huge heads not far below the surface, make the shoals or Banks of Newfoundland.
