THE PITCAIRN AND PACIFIC MISSIONARIES.
A LETTER from Capt. J. E. Graham, dated Nukalofa, Tongatabu, September 2, gives the following information relative to movements of the Pitcairn and missionaries in the Pacific Islands: The Pitcairn reached Nukalofa August 29, and was ready to sail at date of writing, for Fiji. No illness is reported among missionaries or crew, and no accident or mishap to the vessel. Sisters Rosa Young and Hattie Andre take the New Zealand mail steamer, Mariposa, and proceed to Honolulu, where they stop off two weeks with Elder E. H. Gates, thence to California, when, after a short stay, they go east. They will arrive in Oakland about October 10. Brother and Sister Butz and Sister Maria Young remain at Tongatabu, and Sister Sarah Young at Tonga, with Brother E. Hilliard. Brother and Sister R. A. Prickett return with the Pitcairn. The work in Samoa and Tonga is reported as prosperous. Dr. M. G. Kellogg and wife remain in Samoa, the doctor, being a practical builder, to superintend the building of a sanitarium there. When that is finished the doctor and his wife expect to go to Tonga.
