Captain Otis Webb, son of old
Father Daniel Webb of the Providence Conference, though nothing himself but a
high-minded outsider, (the Lord bless the outsiders! I have found among them
some of the best friends I ever had in my life,) hearing of our situation, sent
us word that he was building a house near our chapel, which would be finished
in a week, and that we were welcome to the use of it, rent free, for a month.
So after remaining a fortnight in port aboard ship, enjoying the hospitality of
Captain Wilson, we moved into the new house of Captain Webb, a one-and-a-half story
house, containing five rooms, and would have rented for about four hundred
dollars a month.
