Jesse Caswell THE CONGREGATIONAL MISSION The first Board to respond was the American Board, which sent the Rev. David Abeel from Canton ; he arrived June 39, 1831, shortly after Dr. Gutzlaff had left. Ill health compelled him to leave November 5, 1832 ; but in 1834 and 1835, seventeen missionaries, including wives, arrived, and for a time everything looked bright. But soon disasters began to come. Mr. Ben- harn was drowned. Mrs. Johnson, Mrs. Brad- ley, and Mr. French died, and Mr. Robinson, br...oken in health, left only to be buried at St. Helena on his way home. In 1846, the Amer- ican Board, whose main thought from the beginning had been for the Chinese rather than the Siamese, concluded that the time had come when the former could be reached in China more effectively than in Siam, and it therefore transferred Messrs. Peet and Johnson to Foo-chow. The few remaining missionaries struggled on among the Siamese; in 1848 Mr. Caswell died, and when ill health drove out Mr. Hemenway and his family in December, 1849, the mission of the American Board was closed.
