julian moreton faced many hardships and obstacles during his time as missionary in the greenspond mission. these hardships are recorded in moreton's book and in bishop edward feild's reports to the s.p.g. for example, one account records moreton visiting deadman's bay some 30 miles away from his home, walking for 16 miles along the shore, living on bread and butter with salted fish alone, and expecting only two good meals in nine days. this life eventually proved too difficult for moreton, who suffered a complete breakdown in his health.
