ABSTRACT

My journal for 1886 opens with this entry,-"Jan. 3. In bed three clays with fever." Notwithstanding the unwearied assistance rendered by Messrs Koyi and MCCallum during the strain of nursing Mr Rollo throughout the week of his fatal illness, I was worn out, and I had a sharp attack of fever myself, the usual result of over-anxiety and fatigue. Thus began the year that was destined to be one of sorrow and of joy for those at Njuyu, and of the triumph of the Gospel among the Ngoni.
