Shortly after we entered on the grounds belonging to the station we met the overseer who was on his round of inspection.
My brother sent him to announce our coming:
and at some distance, as night was beginning to fall, we saw the cottage lit up b}' two Chinese lamps under the verandah, which master Typoon, a Chinese servant of my brother's, had illuminated in honour of me. Soon I had the pleasure of seeing my arrival greeted by all the inmates.
