ned at Ava,
was seized soon after he left her with spotted fever of the most
malignant character. She lost her reason, and for a long time was
insensible to everything around her. But she records with lively
gratitude, that just before her senses left her, a Portuguese woman had
unexpectedly come and offered herself as nurse to her little daughter;
and about the same time, Dr. Price, being released from prison, visited
her. He represents her situation to have been the most distressing he
ever witnessed, and he had no idea she could survive many hours. At one
time a Burmese neighbor, who had come in with others to see her die,
said "She is dead; and if the King of angels were to come in, he could
not recover her." Her head was shaved, blisters were applied to it and
to her feet, and she gradually revived; although the fever having run
seventeen days, she was of course a long time in recovering.

While in this debilitated state, she learned through her servant that
his master had arrived in town, under the charge of several Burmans, and

sent Moung Ing to her old friend, the governor of the north gate,
begging him to make one more effort for Mr. Judson. Moung Ing then went
in search of 'the teacher,' and at length found him in an obscure
prison. Her feelings while he was gone, Mrs. Judson thus describes:

"If ever I felt the value and efficacy of prayer, I did at this time. I

said, 'Call upon me in the day of trouble and _I will hear_, and thou
shalt glorify me;' and who made me at this time feel so powerfully this
promise, that I became quite composed, feeling assured that my prayers
would be answered."

She afterwards learned that as soon as Mr. Judson was found of no
farther use at Maloun as interpreter he was transferred without ceremony
to Ava, where happening to meet no one who knew him, he was ordered to
be taken whence he came, when he went to Maloun, viz: Oung-pen-la. But
at the instance of, Mrs. Judson's faithful messenger, Moung Ing, the
governor of the north gate presented a petition to the high court of the
empire, became security for Mr. J., obtained his release, too
