Of CdrJIInes.


A. de la Porte and Miss Beulah Logan
will surely be glad to read the follow
Ing Intelligence which came to me In
letter from John n. Arundel Esq,
written at Sydney. Feb. z, and which
arrived yesterday by the Aorangi.
The S. S. Archer, in the service Of the
Pacific Islands Company. Ltd, OF Sgd
ney, had touched at Pleasant Island on
November Is. There 1t was learned
| that MIR. and Mrs. de la Porte had been
| landed from the Morning Star on this
| isi.-nd about November 7th.
Apparently the Archer was at Kusaie
in December, for under date of January
9th Mr.. Mortenson, the supercargo,
maze the following entry: DIR. Rife
asked me in Kusaie If we would take
pnss Logan to Sydney, as she was very
i'll. Mr.. Stmson (of Ruk)
also came off and asked me to take
Miss Logan and two servants to Sgd
ney and forward them to Honolulu and
San Francisco"
This entry was probably made at
| Ruk, seven hundred miles west OF Ku-
sale, although Mr.. Arundel says in a
letter to Mr.. Arthur G. Logan (the
/ brother of Miss Logan, who is now
pursuing course of study at the
Springfield Bible Institute, Mass, with
me expectation of going to Ruk in the
Morning Star this spring, in the SER
vice of the American Board): your
sister, Miss Logan, was passenger by
our S. S. Archer. arrived here on jan
uary 81 from Kusaie in the Caroline
group of islands.
1--WE were deeply sorry to find that
Miss Logan was an invalid and suffer-
ing from an injury to her spine caused
at the time of the wreck of the mission
| schooner Robert w. Logan. We have
done all we possibly could for her well
fare and comfort, and will continue to
give her all the sympathy 1t is possible
| We might mention that we have en-
gagged the services of Dr. Jenkins who
is our leading expert on spinal trou-
bles and have engaged room for her
at Miss Duffy's private hospital"
| In his letter to myself he writes, 81
believe Miss Logan experienced every
kindness from Captain Cargill, who
rugged up tent for her on deck in or
der that she might not be exposed to
the. heat of the cabin. She Is progress
| ing favorably. DR.. Jenkins says 1t will
be about three months before she Is
| able to travel She has been visited
| by several of my missionary friends
| here, who are much interested In her
wenare. You may rest assured that
she Is in good hands. 1t Is interesting
to note that DR.. jenkins holds out good
hopes for her recovery
| We hope that friends of Miss Logan
in this city may be able to help her to
while away some of her lonely hours
| in Sydney by writing her by the War
rimoo of March II, or the Mariposa of
March 2S. She has yet to learn of the
death of her mother.
| 1t is probable that the Morning Star
sailed from Kusaie for the Gilbert ISL
ards about November IS, and took her
departure from that group for San
Francisco direct about January list. RI
so, she ought now to be in San IRAN
cisco; ard. if not condemned as unsea-
worthy she may be sailing from there
| abont March 21st She would do"ht'ess
touch at Honolulu on her wav TO Micro
| nesia. Probably a vessel will be char
tered to take her rlace.

Gilbertinia, February go.
Heroine of Caroline Group.
The following is from the Sydney
Daily Telegraph of February Sd:
Among the passengers by the steam
er Archer from the Islands this week
was Miss Logan. prominent trader
at Ralum writes concerning her: "She
is young American girl, about 90
years old, the daughter of Missionary
Logan, many years dead, who, with her
mother, has for years carried on mis-
sionary work in the Ruk Islands of the
Caroline group. Some time ago she
visited some of the islands in the
group, and the little vessel in which
she travelled got on to a reef. To
save her life. she jumped into a smaller
boat, but fell, and unfortunately injur-
ed her spine. At the beginning the
pain was small, but she did not mind
IL, especially as her mother was Ill, and
she did not want to trouble her. The
illness of the mother grew worse, and
she was obliged to return to the United
States. The daughter, however, volun-
teered to remain at her mission post.
After the departure Of Mrs. Logan, the
daughter rapidly got worse, and In q
short time was unable to move. There
was no doctor or proper attendance at
hand until the Archer arrived, when
the captain, with the greatest kindness,
offered Miss Logan passage to sgd
ney. Would you do me the favor to
send reporter to the little American
heroine. She is perfectly unknown to
people in Sydney, and a paragraph in
THE Daily Telegraph" may help to
secure the sympathy she so highly de-
serves"
Yesterday reporter called at Molong
House, Rosebank street, Darlingnurst,
private hospital, where Miss Logan
was taken on landing from the Archer.

concerned herself hut cheerfully gave

having been sent out by the American
: CONGREGATIONAL Board OF Missions to
undertake the perllons and dlficult
work OF educating and Christlanising

Logan found them both savage and
treacherous. His death took place
about u years ago. His labors inc'ud-

prominent Old Testament stories.
