Spanish Honduras

By H. C. Goodrich

LA CEIBA.—We arrived here last week, after a tedious trip of nine days. We came as far as Coxen Hole in a twenty-four-ton schooner. From there we took the mail boat, a sloop of about twenty tons, for La Ceiba; but a windstorm coming up, we took shelter at Hog Island, where we remained one day. Two of our brethren — father and son — live here, who are members of the French Harbor church. They are caring for a large cocoanut plantation, and live on this island all alone. We had a good visit with them, and held some Bible readings; also took their order for REVIEW, Signs, Instructor, and lesson pamphlet, and left them much encouraged.
With calms and a strong current against us, we were thirty-six hours coming to La Ceiba, only twenty miles distant. This trip was especially hard for Mrs. Goodrich; but she is recovering nicely, and is enjoying a good time with Mrs. Allen and the children.
Every day I am looking for a chance to go to Bonacca. Twice I thought I had such an opportunity, but failed. I think I have never had a more difficult time trying to get somewhere.
Mr. Allen has gone to New Orleans since we came here, to get a change of climate for a few months, and to take a course of study in dentistry. He was only waiting our coming to make it possible for him to go.
