At Avery we found three buildings, namely, the mission-house, chapel, freight-house; in addition to these a mill-shed, the three former in good condition. Adjacent to the house is an ell built for a kitchen, bath-house and store. Under the chapel is a room for a school; adjacent to this is another room, used both for school and sewing-room. Also, at the freight-house is a shed-extension used as a lumber wharf. The mill is in a decaying condition, the greater part of it being covered with bamboo, which was rotten, and allowed the rains to pass through, greatly to the injury of the frame-work and the mill apparatus generally. Repairs have been made on this roof more or less ever since our coming on the field. Still, we regret to say that this work is not as yet completed. Repairs have also been made on the under part of the shed, a water-trunk, saw-lever, etc., have been replaced, yet much more is needed to put this structure in good condition, which we deem best to have done during the next dry season. Again, there are other things that must be supplied as early as possible—rubber-belts, etc. The belts, we are informed, have already been ordered by the Executive Committee. As it is so difficult to pass up the ascent from the front wharf to the house, we recommend the construction of an elevated stairway, which would put the whole place in a good condition. At Debia, we found also one building in a dilapidated condition, namely, the teachers’ home—a structure enclosed with rough boards—three rooms and a bamboo roof. This roof, like most others on the field, was almost worthless. It has been re-covered, and is used at present for school purposes. Previous to our coming on the field, a country building had been erected for a chapel and school, which for want of attention had gone to decay. If this work is to be continued, it is quite necessary that a better building be erected for the same purposes, so that the persons teaching and carrying on the religious work there, may have the use of the house and reside upon the field. Each of the above stations has one or more country buildings erected for different purposes. We submit all to your consideration. The Report of Committee on Agricultural Work. Your committee on agricultural work beg leave to say that at Good Hope, according to records left at this station, there are four hundred acres of land under the control of the Mendi Mission, some of which we think might be very profitably put under cultivation. But we regret to say that we have no means other than hoes and cutlasses to begin such a work.
