Loiter know that for the past tour
\,.»rs Margaret Li hi ii has been m
, care of K» v. aiid Mrs. Quid a-ell i*f
Lniry, A»ass. She has now reached
Hi, nge when she nerds the special
ale of her mother. It is not advis
able to have her return to Wood ls
L»nd as ilieie are not tin* educational
advantages here that she requires, so
that after visiting in Boston and one
r two places in Conn. .\lrs. Learn
id Margai et will ret urn to McM inn
wile to live, stopping enroute at
Hamilton, Hannibal, and Rochester
\ \. Lii> -(luig, (>iit. Superior,
\\ is. Vancouver, B. C. Seattle, and
j rt land.
Idle evening Mrs. Learn and the
-iris left Wood inland will long be
remembered by the children. At Ihe
iiinr tile l S. S. Saturn was in port,
and on request the officers kindls sent
i large ]» »wer boat ashore to take us
to Kodiak; tlit* mission launch had
not yet been put m t he w a ter r t lie
summer. I'lie p< \\er boat was large
enough to carry not only the entire
mission family, but many more be
sides. The evening was tine an l the
water was smooth, so that everyone
went.
It was a wonderful experience for
most of the children to see the steamer
at close range instead of a mile or two
away, as is ihe case ordinarily, but to
be a ile to go aboard and to see the
staterooms, a nd hail w as almost
loo wooo 11» be true. iJeilwht in t lie
superlative degree was theirs when
Air. Norris, the steward, invited them
down to tint d*nning saloou and serv
ed them ice ereaiu m three colors, ami
cake, and loaded them with truit. It
was past bed-time when hnally we
stid good bye and started hsine.
Mrs. Learn will be greatly missed
at the Orphanage and on Wood !s
land, although not on a salary, she
never spared herselt, whether it was
helping w it b the work in the home,
or nursing the sick, or ministering to
the people on the island, t here were
v, ry tow evenings that her sitting
room was not till* d with small boys
plaving gamtor older ones, reading
books or papers; and the girls were
always (blighted when they could
come and spend an afternoon with
Mama Learn.
