Chapter II: Part 2

_Wednesday, April 12th._—Started at 7:30. Marched till 11:30. Found a few bare thorn bushes and tried to spread our blankets over them in such a way as to afford us a little shade till the caravan with the tents came up. Even the poor little donkey that the guide rides, and our camels, also, asked to share our scanty shade with us. The thermometer stands at 111° in the shade. Cooked an egg in the sand. Started again at 5 P.M. The latter part of the evening journey I make on foot. The rest of the crowd is generally used up. At last, Midani is able to go no further, and, on his account, we are obliged to halt for the night. The camel drivers protest, saying that the water is all gone, and that we shall suffer before we reach the next well. We make a personal inspection and find that there are five skins half full. One of these is given to the drivers, one to the cooks, and three for our own use are placed at the foot of my cot for safe keeping. Went to bed at 1:30 A.M.

_Thursday, April 13th._—Up at 4 A.M. Started at 5:45. We have had a long tramp over plain after plain, on and on to the mountains and through a high mountain pass till, at length, we have reached the wells of Arieb. It is very hot. Crowds of camels, cattle and donkeys are around the principal well, all drinking. The water is not very good, but we drink it and try to imagine that it is. The tents are up, and after a good bath we tumble into our cots, glad of a little rest.

_Friday, April 14th._—Up early, and left at 6:30 A.M. Followed the wady, which is full of rocks and stunted trees, and then traversed an immense plateau. We camped for noon in a sandy spot, just before entering another pass. At 5 P.M. we were off again, and passed some very picturesque and really wonderful granite formations. Traversing a fine hard gravel plain, which gave us an extensive view, we passed the half-way mark, a huge pile of granite boulders. We then came into a mountain region, said to be infested with robbers. It is true that here, not very long ago, a caravan was attacked in the night and robbed, and some of the parties killed. We had come a long journey, the place was convenient for camping, and some one proposed that we should spend the night here; but the guides manifested great fear, and would not give their consent. They said it was bad enough at the wady Kokreb, but under no circumstances would they stop this side of the wady. Some of us were ahead of the caravan, and we took the advice of the guides, and pushed on for the wady. Soon after arriving and selecting the spot for our camp, and while waiting for the caravan to come up, we were visited by a couple of suspicious-looking men, who asked a few questions, and after looking us well over disappeared in the bush. The guides said they were spies of the robbers, and advised us to fire off our guns and revolvers, to let them know that we were well armed, which we did. In about half an hour the rest of the party and the caravan came up. They reported having met twelve mounted men, who acted suspiciously in the dark. Mr. Moussalli called to them in Arabic, and demanded who they were and what they wanted. They admitted that they were robbers. They were then told that our party was all armed, and that if they came near the caravan they would get into trouble. We formed our camp in a circle, spreading our baggage around us for a protection as best we could, and then went to sleep with our hands on our revolvers, trusting for our safety, now that we had done what we could, in Him who never slumbers.

_Saturday, April 15._—Examined the wady Kokreb to ascertain whether there was water to be found here, which I suspected, but which the guides denied. Found that there was a well a little way up the wady, which we passed soon after starting. The guides seem to find it easier to tell a barefaced falsehood than to speak the truth. For some reason or other they are determined to deny the existence of water at various points along the route, where we know it is to be found. Left at 6:30 A.M., and followed the wady, which is quite full of trees and rather a pleasant part of the journey. Towards noon we arrived at Kokreb, where there is a well and a station. We spread the fly of our tent over some old posts for a protection from the sun. The sheik of the station kindly (for a consideration) procured us a good drink of milk. Here we met a number of caravans. There were many pilgrims among them returning from Mecca. One woman, who was supposed to be irresistible, was sent among us to beg. We offered her some food, which she indignantly refused. The well here is shallow, and is emptied as fast as it fills. We left at 4:20 P.M., passing through a wild, narrow defile in the mountains. The scenery here is extremely wild and picturesque. We ascended now very rapidly, and the sight of the mountains in the purple glow of sunset was magnificent. As night came on it began to grow intensely cold. We camped at a great height. The cold was extreme. We got out our tent-flies and crawled under them.

_Sunday, April 16._—This morning we killed a scorpion that was found under the Consul’s saddlebags. Saw several gazelles. Again we are obliged to travel much against our wishes. There are trees along the wadys all the way, now. Met many long caravans carrying American oil to Berber and Khartoum. Camped at 10:30. At 4:30 we were obliged to start again. The mountain scenery here is grand! Toward night we entered a narrow gorge, running North and South, between two high mountains. Here we had to keep a sharp lookout in the dark, lest we should be left, like Absalom, hanging from a tree. These overhanging thorn trees did, in fact, rather mar Mr. Moussalli’s beauty, but the rest of us dodged and preserved ours. We found several wells in between these two mountains, and here we camped for the night. This is also a dangerous locality, on account of robbers. The nights are very cold in these mountain heights.

_Monday, April 17._—Up early and examined the so-called wells of Haratree. They consist of places scooped out in the gravel of the dry bed of the river, and are only from two to five feet deep. There is also a pond near a large rock, where one may bathe. There are many aloes in this valley, and doves in great numbers, and in at least three varieties. On quitting this gorge the rise is very rapid till a pass is reached at an elevation of 3,000 feet. I am the only one who is not ill to-day. Camped at 11 o’clock in a large plain under a huge mimosa tree in the bed of a small river, now dry. When we started in the afternoon there was a little trouble with a Hadendoah Arab, who had “appropriated” one of our camels, but his claim was soon settled, and he was glad to slink out of sight. Off at 4 P.M., and traveled through quite a park, where rabbits and gazelles abound. Camped at night at “Durse,” or “The Mountain of the Molar Tooth.”

_Tuesday, April 18th._—Left at 6:30 A.M., and arrived at the Wells of Disibil, where we found a rude shelter from the sun. I walked the whole distance. Saw several gazelles. The wells are in the dry bed of a river in a mountain valley. Only one is used now, the other having filled up. After lunch went hunting after gazelles, and when, later in the afternoon, we at last reached the rest of the caravan, we found them camped earlier than usual. We are now in the valley of Sinkaat. We know that we are nearing the sea, for the night air is very damp, and our clothes are wet through.

_Wednesday, April 19th._—Had a good laugh this morning at the Consul, who roused us during the night by loudly challenging some parties who were prowling around the camp. They proved to be a couple of innocent donkeys. Off as usual at 6:30, and followed the valley and the river-bed. Camped at 10:30 at the well of _Hambouk_. The water was not good. Left at 4 P.M. Came into a fine plain full of green trees, and singing birds, and flocks of goats. Passed the wells of Otaou (water bad) without stopping. At last we emerged from the mountains, and came to the spot where we ought to have a fine view of the sea, but it was dark. We camped finally on a broad plain, though the drivers protested that we ought to go on beyond; but they were informed that we intended to stop there, and that was the end of the controversy. It is damp and warm to-night. Ibrahim, our dragoman, is ill.

_Thursday, April 20th._—Midani and an Arab started this morning at an early hour ahead of the caravan for Souakim, to inform our friends of our arrival, and to prepare a place for us. We started at 5:30 A.M. The first object to attract our attention was the sea, the beautiful blue sea! What a thrill of joy that first sight of the sea sends through one coming from Central Africa! It is a bond of connection with the outer world. It is the highroad of commerce and civilization. It is the avenue of hope, and love, and life! As we approached Souakim we had fine views of the white, shining, coral city. It was not long before we discovered with our glasses a steamer lying in the harbor and another coming in. We took off our hats and hurrahed like school-boys. Soon a delegation of friends came out to meet us, among whom were M. Marquet’s son and Mr. Midani’s brother. At last we entered the city. Doctor’s camel was afraid, and had to be led in. We passed through the bazaars, and over the causeway, and through the big gate into the city proper, which is built on an island. The appearance of the town is quite dazzling, as every portion of it is built of white coral. We noticed some fine specimens in the walls as we passed. We went directly to M. Marquet’s new house, not yet finished, where camping room had been assigned us in the open yard, and here we sat down by the sea waiting for the caravan to arrive. Finally we retired into the entry of the unfinished house, where, as soon as our baggage arrived, we spread our cots, and took up our quarters, and paid off the camel drivers, who, for a wonder, went away contented. There has been rather a serious misunderstanding between some of our friends. It takes considerable self-control to keep quiet and calm and cool amid the discomforts and annoyances of a journey like this. Our first and great want was a bath, and this was soon arranged in one of the upper rooms of the new building. Then we put on some clean clothes, and felt as if we had been born again. We made several calls, and finally went, by invitation, to dinner at M. Marquet’s (brother of the gentleman of the same name at Khartoum), where we spent a very pleasant evening. A small steamer coming in to-day ran into our steamer of the Rubattino Line and broke her mast. There are three steamers now in harbor, an unusual thing for Souakim. We cannot sail before Saturday....

_Saturday, April 22._—Up and on deck early; friends off to say farewell; started at 9 A.M.; had breakfast on deck. All our meals are to be on deck, as it is so warm below. Had a fine view of the town as we steamed slowly out of the harbor. The channel is a tortuous and difficult one. Coral reefs abound on every side. But after a little careful turning and twisting we were out on the sea—the boundless sea. Oh! what a delight to be at sea again, and breathe the refreshing salt air, after our experience during the last few months! We have pleasant companions, and the voyage promises to be an enjoyable one. At dinner conversation is carried on, and jokes are cracked in French, English, Greek, Arabic, and Italian. The captain is a pleasant, jovial, able man, and our steamer is good and comfortable.

_Tuesday, April 25th._—A number of islands and the mainland on both sides are in sight. Asia on one side; Africa on the other; Arabia and Egypt, both full of historical interest. Here, towering above others, is the peak pointed out as Mt. Sinai. We accept the statement and fall to musing on the wonderful events that once occurred in this vicinity. The Gulf is here from 15 to 17 miles wide. There are great quantities of sea-weed floating about. The shore on both sides is a desert. We are this evening only 50 miles from Suez, and we expect to arrive about 4 o’clock in the morning.

_Wednesday, April 26th._—Arrived at Suez at 4 A.M. Cast anchor, and waited for the Health Officer. Fourteen steamers were lying in the roadstead, while others were entering and coming out of the canal. Somewhere about here it was, probably, that the children of Israel passed through the sea on dry land. The Health Officer did not take long to give us clean papers, and we steamed slowly into dock. We sent for a cart to take our baggage up to town, while the Consul took a boat, then leaving Ibrahim, with Mourgan to assist him to get the things through the custom-house, we went ashore. We were immediately surrounded by a most importunate crowd of donkey boys and men who in their eagerness to secure us as their legitimate prey fought and pulled and pushed till we were nearly crowded into the water. Seeing the necessity of immediate action, we struck right and left with our sticks, till we had cleared a space around us, then leaping on to the donkeys we had already selected, we started off on a smart trot for the town; true, the donkeys had lost their bridles in the muss, but that made no difference. We arrived at the Suez (Eng.) Hotel with a good appetite for our breakfast, and some time before the Consul and his party. After breakfast we took a walk about the town. Returned and read the papers till dinner. A mule cart with our baggage, has run away, and smashed up some of our belongings, but we are getting above caring much for such accidents now. At 5 P.M. we took another walk, and then went by invitation to a dinner party at the Belgian and Brazilian consuls. It was an extensive dinner, and the evening, till a late hour, was passed most pleasantly.

_Thursday, April 27th._—Took the train for Cairo at 8:45. A number of friends came to see us off. Fine views of the canal and the desert, and then of the fertile land of Goshen. Took dinner at Zagazig, where we changed cars and started again for Cairo at 3 P.M. At a station near Cairo Mr. Moussalli’s beautiful children came to meet their papa, whom they had not seen for over a year. They reminded me forcibly of my own little ones at home. Soon we reached Cairo, and were greeted by the familiar faces of the hotel porters and others. I started off at once to the American Consulate for our letters, and found 27 waiting for me. What a feast for a hungry soul! It seemed almost like getting home to get back to this familiar hotel. Had a call from Dr. Lansing and Dr. Watson, of the American Mission, who gave us a hearty welcome back after our long and perilous journey. We truly have great reason to be thankful for the way in which we have been preserved amid dangers seen and unseen.

* * * * *

While in Cairo the news was received of the defeat of the army
sent against the “False Prophet,” and the fall of Senaar, and
of general anarchy in the Soudan. The insurrection under Arabi
Pasha was also every day becoming more serious. People were
already beginning to leave the country. The explorers were
advised by Gen. Stone and others not to broach the subject of
the proposed mission to the government in the present crisis.
They rapidly settled up the affairs of the expedition and
left the country none too soon for their good. They sailed
from Alexandria May 10th. They met the English and French
fleets, called at Malta and Gibraltar on their way and arrived
in Liverpool May 24th. While in England they consulted Mr.
Arthington, laid the results of the expedition before him, and
agreed that they would have to wait for a more settled state
of the country before the proposed plans for the mission could
be carried out. They sailed from England June 6th, arriving in
New York June 17th, having been gone from home nine months.
The long journey was ended. The objects of the expedition
had been fully accomplished in the face of many dangers and
great difficulties. A detailed report, with maps and plans and
photographs, is in course of preparation.—_Ed._

THE INDIANS

FARMING AT FORT BERTHOLD.

BY AGENT KAUFFMAN.

The number of Indian men engaged in doing farm work is constantly increasing. In issuing wagons to Indians last fall, I required that each man receiving a wagon should farm at least five acres of land for himself, or forfeit his wagon. All, with one exception, complied with this condition. Agency Indians farmed this year 832 acres; they prepared the ground in the spring under the direction of my farmer in excellent manner, and sowed 146 acres of wheat, from which I estimate a yield, from two days’ threshing now in progress, of 2,600 bushels of very good quality. This is the first effort of my Indians in raising wheat, and they are greatly elated with their success, and many are already asking for more land for next spring sowing. This improvement in farming by the Indians is gratifying to myself, as two years ago an Indian rarely cultivated to exceed from one-half to three-quarters of an acre; now some have cultivated this year 20 acres, others from four to twelve, and ask for more land for next year. Twenty Indian men, heads of families, have consented to go this fall 22 miles west of the agency, build houses and remain to farm 133 acres of land which I have had broken this summer.

These Indians are peaceable and friendly; many would assume the position of citizens and compare favorably with the average white man if they could have lands in severalty and the protection of the law. During May and June last I had flouring gearing put in position in the agency mill for grinding wheat raised at this agency last year, and manufactured 44,000 pounds of flour of good quality; there were also sawn during the year at the agency saw-mill 20,812 feet of lumber.

RELIGIOUS INTEREST AT S’KOKOMISH.

BY REV. MYRON EELLS.

There has been considerable religious interest among the Indians. The Indians on other reservations have been more interested than usual, and intercourse with these has caused a similar interest here. Then the most severe sickness which has visited the reservation since my residence here came upon us last winter and awakened serious attention in the minds of many. This additional interest has caused increased work, so that I now hold prayer meetings at two logging camps regularly. Some of our young people are taking hold of the work, and at times conduct meetings with the Indians during my necessary absence.

New hymns have been made in the Twana and Clallam languages, the native languages of the Indians. Hitherto we have used hymns in the Chinook language, which is generally understood by most of the Indians, yet it is by no means so good a language to convey religious truth as the native languages.

The average attendance at Sabbath-school at S’kokomish is 47, on church prayer meetings 30, on other prayer meetings among the Indians 36, on public worship 67. Families under pastoral care 52. Total contributions for benevolence $451.05.

SCHOOL AT LEECH LAKE.

BY REV S. G. WRIGHT.

Twenty-seven children were boarded and clothed about eight months of the year, and fifteen attended very regularly as day scholars. The text books used were elementary speller, model reader, first, second and third readers, mental arithmetic. Several of the most advanced pupils are also familiar with the four ground principles of written arithmetic. Nearly all made good progress in their studies. There is no lack of ability in the Indian child to comprehend any branch of learning. The only obstacle in his way is that all his knowledge of books must be acquired through a strange language. The lessons must be explained all through the second and third years of his schooling in his own tongue; otherwise he gets no new ideas from his books, though he may read and spell and write ever so well. I explain the meaning of the words they spell, and translate the lessons read in the different readers. Much religious instruction is given in the school-room and in the morning and evening worship. I returned to this place a year ago, after being absent about two years, and was very happy to find the little company of earnest, devoted Christians whom we left still faithfully pursuing their work for God. I meet with them every week on Thursday afternoon for prayer. They are truly the salt of the earth, burning lights in this great darkness.

THE CHINESE.

* * * * *

REVIEW OF THE YEAR.

REV. WM. C. POND.

Our fiscal year closed Aug. 31. I will state in the briefest way the main facts as to our last year’s work. I group them under three heads: the field, the fruit, the finances.

I. The field. This is larger than ever before in the fact that we have one-fourth more Chinese in our country to-day than we had a year ago. And the work—though far from covering the field and far from being equal to the opportunity—has increased at a per cent. equal to more than twice that of the increase of Chinese population. Fifteen schools have been sustained, eleven of them throughout the entire year. Thirty-one workers are employed, eleven of them being Chinese. The total number of months of service is 356, exceeding that of last year by 70 and of any year preceding the last by 110, that is, by more than _nine years_. During the year no less than 2,567 Chinese were enrolled as pupils, an increase upon the previous year of 935, or more than 57 per cent. Let it not be understood that we had this number at any _one_ time; but for longer or shorter periods in the course of the year, this number have come under the influence of our schools, and have heard something about a Saviour from sin. The _average_ membership month by month was 728, and the average attendance 401. But the membership increased steadily through the year. In August it was 1,022, and the average attendance 459. This represents our opportunity, our special _field_.

II. The fruits. I am not able yet to state accurately the results in hopeful conversions, but I feel safe in saying that about 30 have given evidence to our Chinese brethren that they have passed from death to life. This would make the total number of whom we have cherished this hope, from the beginning of the mission, about 355. I dare not say that in all cases this hope has proved to be well founded. Some have gone back to idolatry and taken to themselves, I fear, seven devils worse than the one that seemed to be exorcised. Some seem to have left their first love, though maintaining still a reputable exterior. Of many we have lost sight altogether. They are in China, or in the Hawaiian Islands, or on the frontiers in our own country, or in the Eastern or interior cities. It is simply impossible, at least with our present working force, to maintain our hold upon them by correspondence. We leave them to the care of the Great Shepherd, Who is not compassed with our infirmities and Who knows His sheep and is known by them. But, allowing for all these drawbacks, I feel it safe to say that no evangelizing agency in California with which I am acquainted has been fraught, on the whole, with larger or better results than our Chinese mission.

III. The finances. This large increase in the work accomplished has involved inevitably some increase of expenditure. Our total resources—on current expense account—have been $10,043.70, of which $3,623.70 were contributed directly to our work and $6,420 came through drafts on the treasury in New York.

CHILDREN’S PAGE.

LETTER FROM AN INDIAN BOY.

MY DEAR FRIEND:

I can tell how I get along. I was working in the shop, and I
try to work very good, but sometimes I too late go in workshop.
I am the wheel-wright. I come from Dakota Territory, and I
have been school at Saint Paul’s school at Yankton Agency,
and I try to learn how to read English. And so many Indian
boys school over there, and to many Indian boys are like to
study, and some boys are don’t like to go to school. And same
is the Indian, too. They did not work at all, but when they
want something, then go into the agent’s and ask for food. But
some Indians are work very hard, like a white people, and they
did not live in the reservation. I like to work in the field
much. And few Indians work very hard, and listen the agent’s
what he says to them; but some Indian won’t—but dancing all the
time, but eating and sleep, that all they can do. And there is
another tribe come back from northwest; they came back into
Yankton Agency in Fort Randall, those Indian whole tribe are
call Sitting Bull. I think those people are very wild. Sitting
Bull is a great many children and big tribe, and cannot get
any food, so the Yankton Indians try to help them, and carry
some corn or potatoes gave to them. And that time I stay at my
home. And that time the Hampton boys come back from Virginia
to this school, and we are all glad to see them. And I came
from Yankton Agency, and now I stay here at Virginia. I am
stay here for three years, then I go back my home again. I
receive a letter from my friend; he says the governor school
was finished, everything inside or outside. And when I heard
that the ten boys get from Sitting Bull I am very glad. I think
those people going to learn how to work. So many of them do not
know anything at all, I sometimes think those people all the
time wild and poor; but now I think the Sitting Bull learn how
to work, and even the other places just the same. When I came
from Dakota, I saw a great many things, cars, and steam-boat,
and every wonderful thing. I saw those things, I don’t know
how to go and stop. I did not see how to make, and I never saw
the cars before. When I go back to my home I going tell all
this are. A great many Indian boys are here; we are all try to
learn how to work the white men way, and sometimes we have a
prayer-meeting in every Saturday night, and all the Indian boys
are doing very well. I think the Indian try to do how to work;
when they know how to work, then they cannot stop. That is all
I am going to say. We are all well here, and I think you are
well, too. Some boys has going to work, and those boys going to
school this afternoon. I thank you very much.

Yours respectfully,

DAVID STRICKER.
