Product Description: Pounding feet carried the awful news down the frozen coast. Dr. Wilfred Grenfell was marooned on an ice pan with his sled dogs. The missionary physician had raced off to tend a sick boy. Despite warnings, he had taken a short-cut across the bay. Apparently the ice had broken under him and now his life was in desperate peril.
Faces were taut at the mission hospital. If the doctor died, their work was jeopardized. More than anyone, he had been the champion of Labrador's need. All anyone could do was pray and wait out the cold night. Rescue could not be attempted until light permitted. That is, if there was someone left to rescue. The wind was blowing the ice out to sea. Once past the headland, the ice must break up. Exposure might kill the doctor first.
