Saturday 31st. — After breakfast, my friend Mr. Turner and I rode to St. Agnes. In the evening we had a crowded meeting, and a good collection. The two collections amounted to about £44 5s., almost double what was collected last year.

I preached to them from Gen. viii. 15, 16. The Lord helped me to speak with boldness, and He softened the hearts of the people, so that many wept. May God awaken and convert poor sinners! Collection exceeded £11, more than double last year's.

Monday 2nd. — Rode over to Penzance in an omnibus. Put up at Joseph Carnes, Esq., — a rich man. Here I met Mr. Turner and Dr. Beaumont.

The population of this town, I was informed, is only 8000.

A steam engine was also set in motion to bring up the precious metals
