At Mr. Burke's time of life, and in his dispositions, petere honestam missionem was all he had to do with his political associates. This boon they have not chosen to grant him. With many expressions of good-will, in effect they tell him he has loaded the stage too long.

At Mai he landed, and slept ashore, when little Petere, the son of the young man whose death had so nearly been revenged on the Bishop, a boy of eight years old, did the honours as became a young chief, and announced, 'I am going to New Zealand with you. No one made any attempt to prevent him; but the old scholars did not show themselves helpful, and only one of them, besides three more new ones, came away.

Their names were Petere and Laure; the former was a local chief of some consequence. We took a peculiar interest in this island, finding that a portion of the population consists of a tribe speaking a dialect of the great Polynesian language of which another dialect is spoken in New Zealand. Every year we have had scholars from Mai, several of whom can read and write.

A third was Henry Sherwood, student at law in the office of Attorney-General Robinson, and Clerk of Assize. He was a son of the Honourable Levius Petere Sherwood, one of the puisne judges, and was also connected with other leading members of the ruling faction.

I had time before the boat called next day at noon to see five or six of their villages. People quite accustomed to expect me all most friendly, apparently pleased to be told that I would stop with them in the winter. Seven scholars joined us here.... 'At Mai, I slept in the house of Petere and Laure. Things are promising. It is quite ready for a missionary.

We who are always striving to roll our prospects and our office boxes up the hill to Simla may learn a lesson here: Sisyphus in vita quoque nobis ante oculos est Qui petere a populo fasces sævasque secures Imbibit et semper victus tristisque recedit.

"Potest et femina quaeque et mas, pro turpi corporis usu, pretium, accipere et petere." Hurtado issued a volume of "Disputations and Difficulties." At p. 476 is the following genuine Popish rule of life "Carnal intercourse before marriage is not unlawful." So teaches that Jesuit oracle.

The heavily loaded boat had a perilous strife with the surf before the ship was reached, and it was a very rough passage to Anaiteum, where some goods had to be left for Mr. Inglis, and he asked that four Fate visitors might be taken home. This was done, and Mr. Grordon was visited at Erromango on the way, and found well and prosperous. At Mai, the reception of Petere and Laure was ecstatic.
