Parsee store-keepers were sent from Calcutta, by Tom Pearson; and these were placed in control of the stores there, and at Martaban Stanley being in charge of these two stations, and Akyah; and having a native craft of his own, and a boat for river work similar to that of his uncle.
If they had been truly told what Calcutta was like, they would never have ventured to make war with the English." When the vessel arrived at the mouth of the Aracan river, a canoe was seen coming out from Akyah a town situated at the entrance to the principal of the several channels by which the river makes its way, through a number of sand banks and islands, into the sea.
A portion of the cargo was landed at Akyah. Stanley went down with the rest to Martaban, and his uncle sailed for Chittagong. A few months later, a store was opened at Rangoon.
A month later he had a letter from his mother, which had been written before that of Harry, but had been sent to Calcutta and thence to Akyah; and had there lain until his return, two months later, from a boat journey up to Pegu. She said how kind it was of his cousin to come in, to give them news of him, the very day he arrived in London.
