On the whole our visit of a week was a great success, and it excited much interest. The house was proceeded with with great vigour, and all the people in the district showed a very friendly spirit, making things look bright and promising for the future. Thomas was doing all he could in the way of teaching, and his Scripture Picture Books were all well thumbed. I confined my doings to the immediate neighbourhood, and saw but little of the adjacent country, though the report of our sojourn caused people to come from a great distance to Wonor, and they were very desirous of being visited. My boat’s crew were thoroughly well treated, and feasted to a great extent, and our entertainers did us the honour of dancing to us one evening. I had not intended to make a long stay this time, and having made some arrangements in the North, which required my presence, we left at the appointed time, in spite of the pressing invitation for a longer stay. Our return journey was accomplished with a little difficulty. The ordinary winds would have taken us back pleasantly in a day, but we fell in with a contrary wind halfway up the coast, and were delayed. Some time after night-fall we decided to land at a village then quite close, but the tide being out the reef was uncovered, and not wishing to have the boat injured we continued on our way, and at last reached our own beach, after very hard pulling, two or three hours before the dawn of the new day. It was not surprising that some of the lads should be knocked up for a time after this, but it was thought to be quite in accordance with the character of the place visited, that they were all, one after the other, laid up for varying periods. It did really seem peculiar that it should so happen at this particular time, when so much was being said about the superstition connected with the southern part.
