Description | Cannot start for Madras until Mar when the monsoons are over; the governor does not at present appear disposed to let them go to India, and is talking of sending Mr. Clough, one of the Methodist missionaries to Kandy; left the 'Chapman' and engaged a passage in the 'Shanon' brig as it promised to be a quicker means of reaching Point de Galle, but they were delayed a fortnight by contrary winds; they had the opportunity of preaching at Tingale; they are staying at Point de Galle with Mr. Squance, a Methodist missionary. |
