520 _a"An account of Sophie's first year as a settler in early 18th century Newfoundland. "Friday, April 28, 1721. We have LAND! Land to our left (which Captain Jones has told me over I must call "to port"). What does it matter what I call it? I can see it. We are in a channel that is open. Ice is to our right still but LAND IS TO OUR LEFT. Sunday, April 30, 1721. We are in a cove. Captain Jones has declared it "more than suitable." The men are fitting out several of the fishing boats so that they may row unto the land. I do not want to go. There are too many trees and it is dark beneath them. All of a sudden I am like Mama. Mama says she would not "willingly set foot within this dreadful place, for all the riches in the world." Reverend Jacob's service today was one of thanksgiving. I did not know how to be thankful. I am too afraid." (Book Cover)
