The Grenfell Association, founded by the famous ' Labrador Doctor' Sir Wilfred Grenfell , continues its struggle against disease and poverty among the gallant men of British race who inhabit the 1,000 mile ice-bound coastline of Northern Newfoundland and Labrador. In this high and Christian endeavour it has founded hospitals, nursing stations, hospital ships, a supply vessel, two boarding schools, a day school, and a children's home, together with industrial and agricultural centres.
But this appeal is primarily on behalf of two pressing needs: a new sanatorium for tuberculosis patients and a dormitory for a remote boarding school. These projects have the active support of the Federal Government of Canada and the Provincial Government of Newfoundland.

After initial hesitation Magdalen Vanstone agrees to Captain Wragge's suggestion that he should be her manager and agent. He is about to enquire into the whereabouts of Michael Vanstone on her behalf, when the death of the latter places the fortune in the hands of his son, Noel Vanstone , who is traced to a small residence in London where he is in the constant company of a formidable housekeeper, Mrs. Lecount. It is to London that Magdalen proceeds with the wretched Mrs. Wragge in search of further information.
