The only one of the thirty whose name has come 200 THE PACIFIC ISLANDERS down as distinguished in missionary history was Henry Nott, a bricklayer, twenty-two years of age. He died in 1844 after forty-eight years' splendid service. Dr. Love, the secretary of the society, warned the sanguine supporters of the new and sacred venture that accounts of solid success could not be expected for a long time. " Having done our utmost to begin the attempt well, let us follow it up and mature it by the fait...h, patience, and prayers of years to come. " This great pioneer enterprise of the London Missionary Society has been used by the gracious Head of the Church to bring to Himself nearly all the peoples of the Pa- cific islands, and to prepare their ocean to be, in the second missionary century, the great highway of the Christian nations. Captain Wilson, tho more experienced than they all, received a letter of instructions from the directors. He was told to proceed to Portsmouth to join the East India convoy there, and to keep company with it for protection in that time of European war; to procure at Teneriffe four pipes of the best wine in hogsheads, paying by draft on the society's treasurer; to take thence bunches of dried grapes for planting in the mission settlements, and pecks of wheat and seeds of tropical fruits for the same purpose.
