OUR NEW MISSIONARIES.
Arrival at Sherbro—A Hearty Welcome—First Impressions.
Our letters from the newly arrived band of missionaries at the
Mendi Mission have been, of necessity, brief and hurried. We learn
from them that the party arrived at Sierra Leone on the 19th of
November, and landed the next morning.
In a letter dated Nov. 22, from Sierra Leone, Mr. White says:
“We had, as you know, fifty-seven days on our voyage. The sea is
a bad road to ride. All of us were sick some, and Mr. and Mrs.
Snelson, Mrs. James and Mrs. Pardoe’s little boy, we thought would
not be able to make the voyage. The captain is a very fine man,
indeed, and tried to do all for us that was in his power. We are
very thankful to him for the kindness he showed toward us. We are
very well pleased with Africa—that is, so far as we have seen, but
we cannot compare Sherbro with this place, because the people here
are not all native, and those at Sherbro are. The mission has a
house in Sierra Leone, in which we will stay till we go next week,
by steamer, to our station. I want to visit some of the Industrial
Schools here before I leave, so that we can tell how they are
carried on.
