---" Saturday, April 22d, 1848. I have just heard that a
vessel will leave here to-morrow for Valparaiso, so that any
letters or communications we may have for England, will
meet with a quick conveyance. We arrived here (Papeete)
this afternoon, after a long trial of our patience by calms

a canoe putting off to us containing two natives. They
came on board to sell some fruit, but as soon as they dis-
covered the nature of our ship, they filled a bucket with
'oranges and refused any manner of payment for them,
glad to be thus able to serve the missionaries. our captain,
however, prevailed on them to take a few biscuits, with
which they were much pleased. * * * I cannot speak
favourably of this part of the island ; for cursed war has
rendered it almost a wilderness." Another letter says :
" I am now in the Mission field—the South Seas, Tahiti,

spreading over the vast Pacific,—lies before me. - We had
some rough weather on our passage from Hobart Town
to Tahiti •, indeed, great fears were entertained for our
safety. * * But in the midst of these dangers, we
experienced the kind care of our Heavenly Father, so
that we suffered no evil. On one of these gloomy morn-
ings, we saw the spar of a vessel sweep by us, belonging
to some ship which had not so freely escaped the tempest
