Bob Gray was very proud of his little chum when, one beautiful
September day, his boat ground its prow upon the sands at Wolf Bight,
and with all the strength and vigour of youth she bounded ashore and
ran to meet the expectant and happy parents.
As, with full hearts, the reunited family of Richard Gray walked up
the path to the cabin, Bob said reverently:
"Th' Lard has ways o' doin' things that seem strange an' wonderful
hard sometimes when He's doin' un; but He always does un right, an' a
rare lot better'n _we_ could plan."

IN AFTER YEARS
During the twenty years that have elapsed since the incidents
transpired that are here recorded, the mission doctors and the mission
hospitals have come to The Labrador to give back life and health to
the unfortunate sick and injured folk of the coast, who in the old
days would have been doomed to die or to go through life helpless
cripples or invalids for the lack of medical or surgical care, as
would have been the case with little Emily but for the efforts of her
noble brother. New people, too, have come into Eskimo Bay, though on
the whole few changes have taken place and most of the characters met
with in the preceding pages still live.
Douglas Campbell in the fullness of years has passed away.
