Ensal Ellwood entered his room in his home in Monrovia, Liberia, West Coast Africa, a thoroughly dejected man. He had just returned from an extended trip in which he took a survey of his work and contemplated the outlook. His investigations had served to increase his hopes as to the possibilities of the African race, but he was nevertheless depressed.
Taylor took charge of this, as the only man in Monrovia who had Orde's confidence. At the end of a necessary delay Orde received notice that the West had been heard from. He stepped across the hall to the lawyer's office. "Well, Frank," said he, "glad we managed to push it through with so little trouble."
"I have to report that a third squadron has been ordered into the air, from Monrovia," announced Menendez. "Very well! Anything else?" "No, sir." The Master hung up the receiver, arose, and seemed to shake himself from the kind of torpor into which his thoughts of the woman had plunged him. "Enough of this nonsense!" growled he. "There's work to be done work!"
He did not understand it, nor attempt to analyze it. "I'm sick of it," said he; just as after the labour of building a fort in Monrovia, he had with the same remark deserted his companions on the threshold of its enjoyment.

The prominent building is still the large white-washed mission-house with its ample windows and shady piazzas: the sons of St. Benedict could not have placed it better. In rear lies the square tower yclept a lighthouse, and manipulated like that of Monrovia; its range is said to be thirteen miles, but it rarely shows beyond five.
Seeing everything snug and in order the captain returned to the brig, giving me final orders to proceed with all possible dispatch to Monrovia, Liberia, land the negroes, then sail for Porto Praya, Cape de Verde Islands, and report to the commodore.
Also announce the formation of no less than sixteen new spiritual assemblies in the African continent:—Monrovia, Benghazi, Nairobi, Jinja, Akarukei, Tilling, Mbale, Atoot, Kococwa, Acissa, Opot, Fassy, Ocaka, Osopotoil, Kadoki, Kabuku. In Uganda alone the number of believers is over two hundred ninety, residing in twenty-five localities, representative of twenty tribes.
"Here comes the bus," called someone. "Grace, Carrie, where are you?" "Where are the Monrovia girls? Oh, Vera, you are wanted." "Chrystie, your turn next. Is this your grip? Good-by all! Merry Christmas!" With a few final, hasty hugs, the quartette sprang down the steps, climbed into the waiting vehicles, and departed to all appearances amid a great waving of handkerchiefs and pennants.
About 8.30, to our delight, the gallant Monrovia boy comes through the bush with a demijohn of water, and I get my tea, and give the men the only half-pound of rice I have and a tin of meat, and they eat, become merry, and chat over their absent companions in a scornful, scandalous way. Who cares for hotels now?
