IIo Letter LV. 
I saw more of the men here than on Fili, for it was later 
in the day and they were returning from their plantations. 
They are fine strong men, but have the name of being great 
rascals. A good many both of the Fili and Melé men have 
been away in Fiji or Queensland, and they are none the better 
for that. 
We managed to get a good supply of yams at Melé, and very 
fine ones too, giving in exchange knives, calico, tobacco, &c., 
and returned to the vessel with our load. 
After visiting the mission stations lately occupied by Messrs: 
Cosh and Morrison—the first being on a point which forms 
one side of Pango Bay, and the latter at Erakor, about 
three miles round the coast—the vessel weighed anchor and 
sailed for Havannah Harbour.
