This narrative chronicles the expedition of two missionaries who set out to explore and minister to the Esquimaux people living in the northern regions of Labrador and Ungava Bay. The book provides insights into both the cultural interactions and the natural challenges faced by the missionaries during their voyage. The beginning of the journal sets the scene for the expedition, detailing the preparations made by the missionaries and the Esquimaux who accompany them. The narrative describes the initial challenges such as unpredictable weather and ice conditions, as well as the emotional farewells from their home community in Okkak, where friends and family express their concerns for their safety. It introduces key figures including Jonathan, an intelligent and skilled Esquimaux who assumes a leadership role in the expedition, and the missionaries themselves, who are determined to expand their mission to the northern Esquimaux despite the significant risks involved. The stage is thus set for a journey filled with exploration, cultural exchange, and the trials of navigating uncharted territories.
