talked with the people.

'Sat out in the cool evening on the beach at Mwaata, after much talk
in a chiefs house called Tarua; people came round me on the beach,
and again I talked with them (a sort of half-preaching, half-
conversing these talks were), till Iri said we must go to bed. Slept
a little that night.

'I can truly say that you were in my head all day. After my evening
prayers, when I thought of you--for it was about 9 P.M. = 10.10 A.M.
with you, and you were on your way to church--I thought of you,
kneeling between your dear mamma and grandmamma, and dear grandpapa
administering to his three beloved ones the Bread of Life, and I was
very happy as I thought of it, for I trust, through the mercy of God,
and the merits of our Lord, that we shall be by Him raised at the
Last Day to dwell with Him for ever. But indeed I must not write to
you how very unworthy I felt to belong to that little company.

'This morning about eleven the vessel's boat came off for me, with
the Bishop. I had arranged about some lads coming on with us, and it
ended in seven joining our party. Only one of our old scholars has
come again: he is that dear boy Grariri, whose name you will
remember.

'Now I have had a good change of shirts, etc., and feel clean and
comfortable, though I think a good night's rest will do me no harm.
I have written to you the first minute that I had time. What a
blessed, happy day it must have been for you, and I am sure they
thought of you at Feniton.
