* Fifteen of these colonists were originally from Moravia
and Bohemia.--

During an enforced stay of three weeks at Altona, the Moravians
experienced much kindness, especially at the hands of Korte and his
family, and Mrs. Weintraube, the daughter of a Mennonite preacher, who
had come from her home in London on a visit to her father. By this time
the Moravian settlement at Herrnhut was coming to be well and favorably
known in Holland, and every visit won new friends, many of whom came
into organic fellowship with them. A few years later, when the Unitas
Fratrum was confronted by a great financial crisis, it was largely the
loyalty and liberality of the Dutch members that enabled it to reach a
position of safety.

On the 9th of September, the company went aboard an English boat,
homeward bound, but contrary winds held them in port until the 13th,
and it was not until Sunday, Oct. 2nd, that they reached London, after a
long and stormy crossing, which gave many of them their first experience
of sea-sickness.

Nitschmann and Korte at once went ashore to report their arrival to
Secretary Verelst, and on Monday a house was rented, and the twenty-five
colonists and Jonas Korte moved into it, to wait for the sailing of Gen.
Oglethorpe's ship, the General having offered them berths on his own
vessel. The General was out of town when they reached London, but called
on Monday evening, and showed them every kindness,--"Oglethorpe is
indeed our good friend, and cares for us like a father."

Nitschmann found a good deal of difficulty on account of the language,
for he could not speak Latin, as Spangenberg had done, and knew no
English, so that all of his conversations with Oglethorpe had to be
carried on through an interpreter; nevertheless a number of important
points were fully discussed.

On the question of military service he could reach no definite and
satisfactory conclusion, and thought it a great pity that there had not
been a perfect mutual understanding between Zinzendorf and the Trustees
before the first company sailed. That Zinzendorf's "servants" should be
free from military service was admitted b
