with walks of stone all around. After looking through
some of the houses we went down to the cemetery about $
mile farther down a great big hill and across a little
creek. It was there a captain of a ship had been burried
and several missionaries, some little children and our
Dearly beloved brother S. N. Lapsley. The slabs are
there that mark the graves but the place is very rocky
and it is very hard to keep it well and especially when
no one takes a very grat interest in it. But there is
nothing foul but grass over the yard. To go into the
little cemetery away out here in Africa where only a
few good men are burried, men who gave up their lives
in the service of the Lord, it makes my heart feel sad.
Yet when I think of the glorious reward they will have
a part in the first resurrection, I want to do more and
more but I am a poor frail being and can do nothing
except God gives me the strength. We got back again to
Londe about 6330 o'clock and had breakfast, then I rec'd
a note to go to the telephone at Matedi and when I got
up there the thing would not work. I know that Morrison
or Phipps wanted to talk with me from Tumba. I then
went to find Mr. Denier of the R.R. Co. to talk with
him about some freight but failed to find him. I saw
Mr. D'Angremond and he said he was coming to Londe Sun-
day to see me.

After dinner, or rather late in the p.m. about 5 o'clock
Mr. Lemke and I went out hunting and we were in a boat.
We saw some Eagles and Lemke shot 7 or 8 times and killed
one it was a good shot too. I shot twice and killed one.
I killed him on the wing. He was about 5 feet from tip
to tip of hie wings. I made my rep. Lemke thinks I'm
an old hunter but he is mistaken for I went hunting but
very few times in my life. The boys that went with us
had a good chop with the two Eagles.

Sunday, Jan. 24 ~ 1897

After a refreshing nights sleep I arose feeling quite
well. After our usual a.m. prayers before we leave the
breakfast table I went to my room and read. After
dinner 1 wrote a litter and while I was writing Messrs.
Ross & Bretschneider came over to see me and we all had
a pleasant visit. We wanted them to stay for tea but
they could not. I finished my letter after supper.
Good night.
