But of course all the pathways are roofed over, and the people walk in the shade. Trees are also planted outside the path. The traffic in the streets equals that of London, and the noise far surpasses it.

The Chinaman directed me how to find the college, so I walked on, and came to a house on fire, which was quite a serious affair. After some few blunders and asking I was directed to the college, and wound round the hill. My feelings were indescribable. A thousand thoughts and feelings rushed in wild confusion through my brain, and this with the heat was rather enough to make one feel funny.

At last I spied the college and took a walk round it, incognito. Then I went to the hall, and with rather a fearful pull, rang the bell. I waited a few minutes, and a Chinese boy came to the door. Of course I wanted someone to introduce me and show me what was before me. The Chinese servant seemed to know nothing, and I waited and walked about a long time, till at last I found a gentleman, the Surveyor General of the island, who is for the present residing here. He informed me that Mr Beach was still here and would be in soon.

I went into the Bishop's Drawing room and waited two hours, till Mr Beach arrived. He was rejoiced to see me, and we were soon on the best of terms. He gave me the letters that were here, and I need not say with what an appetite I devoured them all. They seemed to stir me up and did me no end of good to know all was going on well. For weeks I had dreamed every night of getting a bundle of letters. I had six. Two from Anna (poor little girl), one from George, one from Father, one from Jabey, and one from the bishop; and a paper from Tidcombe. It was like balm and honey after being shut up in prison so long.

I felt so rejoiced that I wanted to shout, and sing, and laugh, and cry, and caper about, and jump over all the chairs and tables in the room, all in the same moment.

I will just send you the Bishop's letter:

Dear Mr Fryer,

"Although I have scarcely anything to say, I cannot omit sending you a few lines to assure you how much you were in our thought and how regularly your name was mentioned
