nice young fellow. In the p.m. I went to the Ship
Edward Bohlen which is to leave for Europe tomorrow
asm. @ 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.

About 5 o'clock this aem. 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
beat 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, &¢. Good houses -
