Mr. Gomer wrote again, September 10th, eight 
♦ days after the chief’s death, I was with him 
three days before his death, and talked and pray- 
ed with him, but have no evidence that he wms 
saved. The services were in the barra, where the 
corpse lay in state. Brother Evans preached the 
funeral sermon to from three to four hundred 
people. His brother, Thomas Caulker, who was 
with the chief when he died, says he has every 
reason to believe that he was saved, as he con- 
stantly asked to be prayed for, and died very 
easy.” 
Rev. J. A. Evans wrote the 26th of September, 
^‘The country is in an unsettled condition, there 
being no king or chief chosen yet. Mr. Thomas 
Heal Caulker is acting chief at present. Satur- 
day and yesterday we held our second quarterly 
meeting at Shengay for this year. Five persons 
were received into the Church, and two were 
baptized. There is a good deal of interest mani- 
fested. Brother D. E. Wilberforce is also havins: 
some revival at Manoh, where he has lately hold 
a week of prayer, and where Brother Gomer 
organized a church the other round of quarterly 
meetings. There are a number of seekers.”
