Palmer at the station at Mota, the Bishop re-embarked for Santa Maria, where, at the north-east Cock Sparrow Point, as some one had appropriately called it the boat was always shot at; but at a village called Lakona, the people were friendly, and five scholars had come from thence, so the Bishop ventured on landing for the night, and a very unpleasant night it, was the barrack hut was thronged with natives, and when the heat was insufferable and he tried to leave it, two of his former scholars advised him strongly to remain within.
He took three old scholars and one new one, and sent the others off with fish-hooks, telling them that if they would not behave at Lakona as he liked, he would not do as they liked. However, no arrows were shot. Then while the 'Southern Cross, with Mr. Tilly and Mr. Atkin, went on to land the Solomon Island scholars, the work at Mota was resumed in full force.
Sarawia at Mota, B at Santa Maria, Bice at Leper's Island, Codrington at Norfolk Island, I on board "Southern Cross." 'Leper's Island is very pleasant; I longed to stay there. All the people wanting to come with us, and already discriminating between us and the other white visitors, who seem to have had little or no success there. 'July 21st. At anchor, Lakona, west side of Santa Maria.
