This is the seat of power and influence over China's 400,000,000. Its magnificent walls, broad streets, thronging citizens an,l other elements of Chinese life indicate that greatness which belongs to the city and empire.

Visited all the Marshall Islands, except Arno and Mejriro. At Jaluit there is a U. S. Consul, and if an American vessel stops at the island more than 24 hours, the ship's papers must be deposited with the Consul and his consular fees paid, about four dollars a way the U. S. government has of giving aid and comfort to the American commercial marine in foreign ports. After six weeks spent in cruising among the Marshall Islands, under Dr. Pease's direction, arrived again at Kusaie December 4th. The American Missionaries at Pon ape had sent word to Kusaie that they had nearly exhausted their stock of provisions, and found it difficult to food from the natives. procure Reached Ponape January Bth and stayed until January 19th landing sup plies. Then sailed for Ruk with Messrs. Sturges and Rand from Ponape and their Mortlock boys. February 2nd reached Ruk, and spent five days visiting stations. Reached Ponape on the return trip February 13th, and sailed February 15th for Kusaie to consult Dr. Pease. On the morning of February 22nd, in trying to enter the harbor at Dr. Pease's station on Kusaie, the vessel was wrecked on the reef. Up to this time the voyage had been most successful and through Captain Garland's skillful seamanship and a kind Providence, the staunch missionary vessel had escaped unharmed from frequent imminent perils. Captain Garland had already several times previously successfully entered the narrow tortuous channel. But this time there was a very heavy swell and quite a fresh breeze. After making a line fast to one of the four stationary anchors that were used to help warp in or out of the pocket in the reef which makes a basin just big enough to hold the Morning Star, and the boat had been sent to fasten another line further tip the har bor," the first line suddenly slackened, then grew taut again several times in succession. The Capain and his officers thought the anchor had pulled off �67 HE FRIEND, SEPTEMBER, 1884. the reef. They could not let go an anchor with any ho|>e of holding the vessel, for they were in 35 fathoms of water. I )ecision must be quickly made. The first line was let go and the attempt was made to head the vessel round. The Captain let the mainsail run down, and hauled up the jib, and set the lower top sail, but before before the vessel could turn, the heavy swell, (it was flood tide) threw her on to the rocks. Two seas broke over her stem; the third threw her broadside on to the reef. It was all done in less than five minutes All accounts give Captain Garland credit for great coolness and skill in managing the ship, though only nautical men could comprehend the full details Captain Garland gives of the whole affair. Francisco as it had l>een planned he should do, he was much gratified to find that the Hawaiian Board with commendable promptitude had chartered and sent forward the Jennie Walker on her mission ofrelief, carrying duplicates of the supplies ordered last year, and an extra amount of stores. Captain Garland had made a most favorable impression on this his first voyage in command of the missionary vessel, both for skillful management and for hearty interest in the missiorn work. As one of the missionaries writes, " Often a man deserves more credit for the way he demeans himself during and after a disaster than for blundering and success. Captain Garland's conduct at the time of the wreck and since, has been above criticism, and only praisesare given to him for hisgallant demeanor and Christian manliness under such trying circumstances as this disastrous termination of what had been only a successful voyage up to that moment on the morning of February 22 nd. , rather than usurping the place of other organizations, whose sphere is that of pure missionary work. consider First, let us THE RELATION OF THE GENERAL SECRETARY TO THE WORK.
