nice young fellow.  In the p.m. I went to the Ship Edward Bohlen which is to leave for Europe tomorrow a.m. @ 5 o'clock.  The missing Box has not been found & may be on Theckla Bohlen.  A boy, the youngest of those engaged in the ship's service, age 16, died last night at 12 o'clock.  I feel for his parents when they will hear the news.  It is too bad, but sooner or later we must all go.  May our hearts always be right and ready to be delivered to the Lord who was so kind as to give us life and preserve us thus far and may we be faithful servants in His name.  After supper I read awhile and went to bed.

This a.m. I looked after all the letters and correspondances of A.P.C.M. at Londay - and found replies to some letters in French.  In the p.m. I went up to Fukufuku and met Mr. D. Angremond, and when it was cooler, he came home with me but only stayed a short while.  After supper I went over to N'KalaKala and found my patient Mr. Frank entirely well.  I came back about 10 O'clock and retired for the night.

About 5 o'clock this a.m. the alarm sounded and Messrs. Lemke, Lagerin, and myself, together with the boat boys went down to underhill & as we were going down in the boat In some trees on the bank I espied 2 monkeys.  we had no gun, and we were not close enough to shoot if we had.  When we came to the landing at Underhill, we went up a very long hill at least a half mile on solid pavement - a road mady by the mission.  Arriving at the top we came to several houses and the whole place looked like a real neat little town.  In the garden were flowers-oranges, limes, bananas, plantains, &c.  Good houses-
