Description | The size of the congregation forced them to move to the new church (capacity circa 500) before it was complete. MacCarthy attended the service and has maintained a great interest in the mission, visiting 2 or 3 times a week during the rainy season. Mr. Hockley, the Colonial Engineer died on 2 Oct and George Lancaster, whom Bickersteth brought from Bashia, died of the flux. The school now has 164 boys and he gives details of their abilities. |
