At the Mauritius I was most hospitably received by Major General C. M. Hay,
and he generously constrained me to remain with him till,
by the influence of the good climate and quiet English comfort,
I got rid of an enlarged spleen from African fever. In November
I came up the Red Sea; escaped the danger of shipwreck
through the admirable management of Captain Powell,
of the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company's ship "Candia",
and on the 12th of December was once more in dear old England.
The Company most liberally refunded my passage-money. I have not mentioned
half the favors bestowed, but I may just add that no one has cause
for more abundant gratitude to his fellow-men and to his Maker than I have;
and may God grant that the effect on my mind be such that I may be
more humbly devoted to the service of the Author of all our mercies!
