EXAMPLE OP REUBEN NOBBS—SHADOWS OF COMING EVENTS—B. TOUP NICOLAS, ESQ., CONSUL AT RAIATEA—HIS JOURNAL OF A WEEK AT PITCAIRN IN 1853—LETTERS FROM THE REV. G. H. NOBBS—LETTER FROM MRS. NOBBS—CAPTAIN DENHAM'S SURVEY OF NORFOLK ISLAND—CAPTAIN FREMANTLE'S VISIT TO PITCAIRN—HURRICANE ON THE PACIFIC—EXPECTATIONS OF A REMOVAL TO NORFOLK ISLAND.
SOME particulars of Reuben's last hours, as he sunk to rest, in the presence of his father and mother, in humble reliance on his Saviour, have been drawn by the pen of a loving parent, and will appear in the progress of our work. These will serve further to illustrate the character of one whose industry, integrity, and piety were conspicuous, and whose example, it may reasonably be hoped, will be useful to the rising generation. Reuben's life, short as it was, and unmarked by any brilliant features, forms one of the cluster of good fruits which have, under God, given to Pitcairn the lovely and honourable name which it has acquired.
