Excerpt from The Last Sentinel of Castle Hill: A Newfoundland Story "Newfoundland shall yet be a great country in spite of all we hear about bigotry." Thus thought Father Lambert as he stood on the deck of the schooner Native Flag sailing into New Port, having just come around Deadman's Head, locally called Deadman. The reasons for his predicting the future conversion of the whole Island to Catholicity were manifold, but at the moment this idea was recalled to his mind by seeing bunting waving a welcome to him from all the residences in the place, Protestant and Catholic. "To tell your Reverence the truth, " said Skipper Mickle Wells, talking afterwards to Father Lambert about the flag incident, "the people here in New Port are that soort that they'll hist their flags for anybody - even for doctors or politicians or insurance agents. But at the same time I must say that the non-Catholic neighbours here have a great lanin' to our Church, and why wouldn't they? Shure three parts of thim know they're on the wrong boat in abusing the Church." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
