Missionaries Aboard the Persia

BROTHER J. WILSON ROWLAND, one of our missionaries sailing for the Orient, September 15, on the steamship “Persia,” which is the last boat out from San Francisco on the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, as this line of steamers has been discontinued for a time, writes concerning the passengers aboard: “It would seem as if this boat were making the trip especially for the purpose of carrying missionaries. Seventy out of the ninety first-class passengers are missionaries, among whom several denominations are represented. Our own little party of fifteen are all standing the trip well.” This letter was mailed at Yokohama, Japan, indicating that the boatload of missionaries had reached port safely.
