He arrived at Chibisas, where the remnants of the first band had found a resting-place, in June, 1863. Before long he resolved to fall back on Zanzibar, a step which at first was met with hostile comment. It did seem like retreat. But it was justified by the event Anyhow there was no suspicion of want of enthusiasm or courage, in the Bishop• He was thoroughly in earnest—no one who came in contact with him could -fail to see that—and he gave his very best -to the work. It .was a great grief to him that for the last years of his life `and these years were many and full of wesrineas - he had to "stand and wait." These letters will be found fall of interest.
