Carrie, l,r, wstmaga, ,hs tlslsaayr,

and his daughter Lucy; Miss Ca,h-
cart aud Miss Palmer. We were
surprised TO see the latter and
panied to hear that it was judged at
Ponape that she must go to Homo
lulu tor her h, alth. We had such a
busy time visiting until after dinner
when we had prayer meeting.
Toward supper Time all return, d on
board ami we got leisure to look
over our letters, and begin prepare
tons for NY wyaee to Mortock.
We eXpec ell the Star would 90 to
zap and return, and then 20 back
10 ponape before sailing for Homo
lulu, but found that on account Of
the delay caused by taking Mr..
Sturges to Honolulu, and the un-
settled state of affairs at zap, she
is to sail direct to Honolulu from
here, hence we are very much
pushed in our letter writing. The
next day about 10 A. NJ. we had
completed preparations for the trip
to Mortlock, and all went on board
to dinner, after which Mary and
the children came home, accom-
panied by Miss Palmer, and we
started on our voyage. David and
Sarah, who were at Lukunor, Mort
lock, eight years, and were des-
tined for zap, came on the Star to
take work at Ruk for the present.
Moses, Solomon and Manassa, went
with me to Mortlock, leaving their
wives at Anapauo. The task for
Mary seemed large one, her letters,
looking after our boys, and all those
families with David's to he cared
for. But Mr.. Worth and Arthur
were at home, and there was no
alternative. We got out of the
lagoon about A p. NJ, and 1 resigned
myself to the inevitable sea sick
ness. About 2 p. NJ, the next day,
we were ut Namaluk. Joram, the
teacher, came off in canoe, l told
him we wanted he should go to
Mortlock with us, and asked him if
he wanted to 60 on shore first. He
said no. l said, then send word to
your wife, and say we will be back
in about 10 days. He fused about,
talked Ponape to the crew of his
canoe, and seemed at his wits ends.
In minute Moses came with letter
to Joram's wife all ready for him to
sign, and also made all plain to the
natives. Then the Star stood away,
but the natives were so slow in get
ting off, that two of them were at
last left on board. One of them
was very slow from anxiety lest some
of the red paint for the face he had
got should get wet. Two Losap
men had been given passage to
their homes from Ruk, and one of
them was the paint merchant. AS
soon as the captain saw it he took
possession of it, and further search
discovered more in the Storage.
Captain Bray confscated it all, and
threw it into the sea.
Mortlock was in sight before dark,
but we were to leeward, so it took
all night to work up to the entrance
into Lukunor Lagoon. Sunday
morning we ran in, and anchored of
Oniop, our old home. A large crowd
was on the beach, but before we
could eat breakfast, and get Oh
