viii surely be glad to read the follow til
ng intelligence which came to me in a al
etter from John T. Arundel, Esq, a-
written at Sydney, Feb. 7, and which th
arrived yesterday by the Aorangi. W
The S. S. Archer, in the service of the m
Pacific Islands Company, Ltd, of Sgd =,
aey, had touched at Pleasant Island on al
2S There it was learned il
chat Mr.. and Mrs. de la Porte had been N
landed from the Morning Star on this ,
isl..nd about November 9TH. v
Apparently the Archer was at Kusaie /
in December, for under date of January t
9TH Mr.. Mortenson, the supercargo, L
maze the following entry: DIR. Rife y
asked me in Kusaie if we would take L
4,.4ss Logan to Sydney, as she was very i
H. Mr. StimSon (of Ruk) {
also came off and asked me to take l
Miss Logan and two servants to Sgd I
ney and forward them to Honolulu and /
San Francisco"
This entry was probably made at {
Ruk, seven hundred miles west of ku-
safe, although Mr.. Arundel says in
letter to Mr.. Arthur c. Logan (the
brother of Miss Logan, who is now
| pursuing a 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 |
7 group of islands.
I'VE were deeply sorry to find that
| Miss Logan was an invalid and suffer
ling 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 a 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
I der that she might not be exposed to
the heat of the cabin. She is progress
ing favorably. Dr. Jenkins says it 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
weuare. 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 IL, or the Mariposa of
March o. 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
! ands about November IS, and took her
departure from that group for San
Francisco direct about January LIST. II
so, she ought now to be in San Fran
cisco; and, if not condemned as unsea-
!. worthy she may be sailing from there
: about March 21st. She would doubtless
touch at Honolulu on her way to Micro
nesia Probably vessel will be char
tered to take her place.

The following is from the Sydney

Among the passengers by the steam
