A more beautiful picture could scarcely be found than that presented by the calm bay on which our little vessel floated, with her mission-flag flying, the glittering sand, the tall cocoa-nut and bread-fruit trees, the wild rocks and fantastic-shaped hills, the green fields, the foaming waterfalls and shining streams, and the rows of neat habitations, the church and school-houses, all showing that the gospel had indeed here found an entrance, and made it doubly beautiful in our sight.
"You go aboard wi' the rest, my boy, an' come back in the arternoon when you see 'em hoist the mission-flag. I'm goin' to stop aboard, an we'll all attend the meetin' together. An' look you, Billy, fetch my Noo Testament with 'ee the one your mother gave me." "Praise the Lord for these words!" said the mission skipper.
Thus furnished and armed, as aforesaid, as a Mission Church, Temperance Hall, Circulating Library, and Dispensary, the little craft one day sailed in amongst the smacks of the "Short Blue" fleet, amid the boisterous greetings of the crews, and took up her position under the name of the Ensign, with a great twenty-feet Mission-flag flying at the main-mast-head.
