Shortly after our return from Aitutaki, we were cheered by the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Buzacott; and as they were to occupy the station we were about to leave, they took up their residence with us. The very day after they landed, Mr. Buzacott, who is an excellent mechanic, put on his apron, turned up his sleeves, and began to work at the forge. On seeing this, the people were much delighted, especially Makea, who exclaimed, “This is the man for us; this is the man for us.” Mr. Buzacott, on being introduced to my bellows, exclaimed, “What have you here” and when I informed him, he laughed heartily, and wished to break them to pieces, and with the materials to make a proper pair; but although they were unwieldy in their dimensions, unsightly in their appearance, and quite unbellowslike in their construction, yet they answered the purpose well; and while I had no objection that my ingenious young brother should try his skill, I wished to have some proof of it, before I consented to destroy the useful machine necessity had compelled me to invent. By the timely arrival of these kind friends, our wants were supplied, and our troubles, in a measure, terminated. To our esteemed fellow-labourers, also, Mr. and Mrs. Pitman, it was a source of great satisfaction; for being in delicate health, they had at one time questioned the propriety of remaining at Rarotonga after our departure: but by the arrival of Mr. and Mrs. Buzacott their anxieties were entirely removed.
