 14th. — The captain came on board and ordered steam up, and the anchor hove short. At 9 A. M. we started, everybody bustling about, getting the ship ready for sea. We passed Cape Liant out into the open Gulf of Siam. Farewell to Siam! I came to you with my forebodings four years, six months and fifteen days ago! I now go away with many heartfelt feelings of respect. May God grant that the day is not far distant when you may all see the beauties of the religion of Jesus Christ, and turn from your idol worship to the one living and true God!

19th. — Passed Pulo Cordore, 12 miles distant; wind N.E. by E., with very bad coal.

20th. — Kept off two points to let the sails draw.

21st. — Fresh breeze, with heavy sea running. Sighted the Island of Pulo de Moore — large island, inhabited by a very industrious class of Cochin Chinese. 4 P. M. — Every prospect of a very dirty night.
