in health and pretty good spirits. We put up at Myerr's, a Danish
tavern to which we had been recommended. No worship to-day. Nothing

"Oct. 14.--Mr. Forsyth from Calcutta, missionary belonging to the
London Missionary Society, astonished us by his presence this
afternoon. He was wholly unknown, but soon became well known. He gave
