RUATOKA, THE FRIEND OF CHALMERS 205 
whose health was so indifferent that he was permitted to 
go only after urgent entreaty. For years he was the be- 
loved coworker with Chalmers and Lawes. Against all ex- 
pectation he outlived every comrade of his early days, and 
when the sad news came that Chalmers had fallen, Ruatoka’s 
first word was an offer to go where his leader had been slain, 
in order that he might there proclaim the name of Jesus. ‘My 
wish,’ said he, ‘is just this. You know it. I have spoken.’ ”
