Central America

By I. G. Knight

Bocas del Toro.— We returned to the Panama field the first of March, and feel glad to be home again. We are preparing to push the work vigorously. We had expected to open our first tent effort in Port Limon ere this. I left Bocas last week for that port, intending to get the tent up, and my wife was to join me the next week, to assist in the meetings; but when I arrived there, I was taken out to the quarantine station. This is a little cay, or island; there I had to remain for four days. When released, I found the tent had not yet come, although shipped from Topeka, Kan., the sixth of February. So I returned to Bocas until such time as the quarantine shall be raised, when we shall return and hold a series of meetings.

We sail for St. Andrews Island tomorrow, March 29, expecting to remain there some weeks. St. Andrews is where Brother Stuyvesant is located. There is an interest in two other islands near there, Old Providence and Corn Islands, and we intend to visit both these places before we return to Bocas. We also want to visit Bluefields, where there is an interest. We will report our experience when we return.
