ABSTRACT

WE left Calabar on ~Ionday 19th October. The season ","asstill good, and, had not arrangements 111ade long previously required it, ,ve needed not, on account of our health at least, to have renloved tllen. But fear was already manifesting itself in our little COlnpany, and fever ,voulcl probably ensue. Neither could be risked at the COlllnlencelnent of our enterprise. ~ly instructions required me to return in the mission vessel to J aluaica, to meet the brethren, arrange for the future, and obtain reinforcenlents. The rest of the little band were to stay in Clarence, "there '\ve engaged a good house for them, till the arrival of brother Jameson in January.
