Friday Feb. 5*2 1897

On waking this a.m. about 6 o'clock I went to James room
and found that the nurse had gone so I took his tempera-
ture, about 6:30 and found thet he had only degree of
fever. I saw that it had gone down one degree in 2 hours
so I gave him 16 gr. Quinine an left him for chop. After
breakfast I went back to see him and found that his
fever had risen a little - but I eould do nothing for
him then, so 1 went with Mr. C. to the steamer and there
I met Messrs. Wescott Brothers - one came out with
Morrison & myself from Antwerp the other was to have
met us at Las Palmas but arrived 2 days behind time so
he came on the Thekla Bolhen and they both stopped at
Boma until this ship Teneriff when they came up with

the others from Boma. Mr. Wescott had had a slight
fever just before leaving Boma & his brother was very
careful with him, but the first night they were on

board (which was night before last) the other one took
fever and is still down, on board shipe I made a small
purchase from the store on board, for all the Eng. ships
have goods to sell, and there was the custom office to
receive the tariff for you have to pay duty on every
thing you buy on board. I then came down to Londe &
met Mr. & Mrs. Cramer & Mr. Smith, for I had not seen
them before and we had a good dinner here I am now. I
may be called on any moment to go up and help Bro. G.
again with the sick people. About 3 o'clock bro. C.
came after me and I went back with him. Messrs. Wescott
Bros two men who have come out as missionaries ~- as far
as I know independent, and are going to locate at
Lusambe on a braneh of the upper Kassai river. One of
the men is sick of fever and they are stopping at Mr.
Harvey's for the present. I took supper with Bro. CG.

and am now sitting up with James who still has high
fever.

Sat. Feb. 6 - 1897

Had a hard time of it last night worked with James until
12 ofelock midnight trying to reduce his fever but could
not. I then put him in a cold pack & kept him there for
one & $ hours to no effect seemingly. I then took him
out, gave him a sponge bath & put him to bed and awaited
result. Temp. same 104° I then gave him 15 grs. Pheno-
coll, and as soon as he took it reaction set in and I

lay down and slept about 2 hours. I got up took his temp.
