That is the result of eleven scholars remaining now in New Zealand. Everyone seems to wish to come. I think I shall take away five or six young girls to be taught at Kohimarama, to become by and by wives for scholars. Else the Christian lad will have to live with a heathen girl. But all this, if carried out properly, would need a large number of scholars from only one island.
And perhaps this was the greatest privilege, or lesson, derived from our intercourse with him, that "Love casteth out fear!" 'Tiros. 'Auckland: October 28, 1872. This letter to Mr. Derwent Coleridge follows up the subject of the requisites for missionary work: "Southern Cross," Kohimarama: August 8, 1863.
While on shore at Kohimarama I saw but comparatively little of him, except at meals; but during the voyage I saw of course a great deal of him, and learned much from him learned to admire his unselfishness and simplicity of mode of life, and to respect his earnestness and abilities.
No doubt he was depressed at parting with the Chief Justice and Mrs. Martin, who were thoroughly home-like friends, and whose return was then uncertain. His success as a sea-captain however encouraged him, and he wrote as follows on his return: 'Kohimarama: March 6, 1856. "Southern Cross." 'My dear Miss Neill, How kind of you to write to me, and such a nice long letter.
Curiously enough, the conversation I most distinctly remember was one with him as we rode up one Saturday from Kohimarama to St. John's College. I got him to describe the game of tennis, and he warmed up and told me of games he had played at.

I long for the sight of his dear face, the sound of his voice. It was my delight to teach him, and he was clever and so thoughtful and industrious.
Certainly he is the most perfect character I ever met. The last day of February was that of the Installation.
