One day In the li brary of a friend be had found an abridged copy of the Bible printed in Chinese characters.

The Japanese j cflieials searched the vessel the next morning, but tne captain hid Shlmeta in his cabin. At Shanghai he was forced to wait for many days until the captain of the Wild Hover, a Boston ship, offered to ;:t him work his passage to America. While in Shanghai be bad obtained ii3 first great desire, an English Bible, for which he had traded one of bis swords.
