Where the storm, Hailan lay
at 11 P.M. Night moonlight
with a light breeze up river &
a few fleecy clouds. Kellogg
went with me to the wharf
& helped us on the very last.
He has been the most willing
worker & myself his helper I
have ever met in my travels.
Caldwell is very much like him
& I have not don't many other
missionaries are nearly as kindly
disposed as him but he is the
best I know of the missionary
spirit.
(10) The Hailan left her anchorage
at 5 A.M. at flood tide &
we steamed down the river
in the early morning. Weather
hazy but fairly bright. In a
few hours we were in the
China sea where there was
a swell running but no
breeze or sea noticeable. The
rolling of the boat however all
for drawing,
(11) Dropped anchor in Cenoay bay
at day light at 5:30 A.M.
