| Description | Larger buildings are necessitated in both schools by the number of children (120). Fantimani offered a site but Perry offered his factory. Wenzel, with the missionaries' consent and Fantimani's goodwill, has closed with Perry for £50 which Perry prefers in goods. The factory is as large as the Bashia building, with fireproof stores below, and 10 other houses. The site is quiet and suitable for a school and there is ample accommodation for 2 missionaries' families. Some expense will arise from the need to obtain leave from the chiefs to cultivate the site [see 110].
The Wenzels have come to S. L. for the birth of their child, having to pay William Lawrence $50 for the passage. Governor Maxwell has offered a schooner to be sent to the bar of Rio Pongas whenever they want to go to S. L. Wenzel gives account of money drawn for salaries Midsummer to Christmas and of extra expenses, totalling £189 2s 8d. |
