REV. HENRY MARTYN, B.D. 51 



set out again, crossed the Ganges, and arrived next morning at 

 Gazeepoor (where Lord Cornwallis died). Passed the day at 

 the Judge's, and argued for the necessity of serious devotion, 

 with his daughter, a very accomplished lady of masculine 

 understanding; leftherthe "Pilgrim's Progress," and proceeded 

 on my journey at sunset. Next morning found myself at Mr. 

 Robinson's, Benares. He is an assistant surgeon, son of Mr. 

 Robinson of Leicester ; both he and his wife fear the Lord. 

 Meeting with those who could discourse about the saints at 

 home, was like setting foot in England. Left them early next 

 morning, crossed the Ganges, and arrived at the fort of Chunar, 

 the station of my beloved brother Corrie. Three happy days did 

 I spend with him and his sister. For He by whose kind care 

 we met, sent His good spirit from above, made our communica- 

 tions sweet, and caused our hearts to burn with love. 



23. Lordi's Day. — Preached at the Fort of Chunar to the 

 invalids, and next morning to another congregation of Europeans 

 at the barracks, at which time one man seems to have been 

 awakened. 



25. Set out from Chunar, and came to Colonel Prole's at 

 Tarrah near Mirzapoor. With this blessed man's example was 

 much edified. I suppose him to be the most choice saint in 

 India, considering his profession. 



26. Staid at Mirzapoor with the Judge, and succeeded in 

 removing from his mind many prejudices relative to the Bible 

 Society. Left him at sunset. Crossed the Jumna in the morning, 

 and arrived at Allahabad on 27th. Left it at night, travelled 

 all next day and the following night, and reached Cawnpor© 

 on the 29th. This part of the journey had nearly proved 

 fatal to me ; for as there was no European all the way between 

 Allahabad and Cawnpore, a distance of 140 miles, I was com- 

 pelled to travel by day, exposed to the hot winds and burning 

 sand. 



May 1 . Made my calls on Commanding Officers of Corps — 

 seized with a fever — fainted twice. 



3-6. Struggling with the disorder, but, by the mercy of 

 God, finally got the better of it. 



7. Sunday, commenced my ministry at this place with 

 preaching to the Artillery in the open air, for there is no Church 

 here.
