Saturday 30th. — Left St. Thomas after breakfast, and proceeded on to the West Street, where we met with Mr. and Mrs. Adams, of the Munceytown Mission. We had not gone far before the coupling bolt jolted out, and down we came to the ground.

Herkimer had been to the St. Clair Mission, and from thence went down to Amherstburgh, accompanied by Brother J. Evans, the Missionary at St. Clair. He
