my two Natives at Turakino. Considered it advisable to sleep at Turakino to see Aperahama and other Chiefs before going to Rangitikei. Got a nice clean house and friendly reception from the Natives. I have felt rather dull and heavy to say what occassions it I do not exactly know what occasions it, but God may dispel all and open up in his own time better prospects of cheerfulness and happiness. There are times when depression of spirit meets with corresponding elasticity, but all I desire is to be in moderate contentment without too much grief or joy. Marks and the soldier George Claret were shipmates 2 years in the Indian Capt. Hobbs - West Indian station. He states that it was not Mark's fault that he escaped.
