Once the decision had been made to leave the mission,
events moved swiftly. It was agreed that the schooner would have to be sold to
help pay to transport the missionaries’ families to the United States. Jonathan
[Crosby] went to Tahiti and built a house under contract to help with finances.
Caroline [Crosby] determined to accomplish a number of tasks in the time
remaining. She would speak to the sisters in their own language, make a quilt
as a gift for the queen, and make new clothes for her family. Regarding her
attempt to speak Tahitian, she confided: “I felt it quite a cross. I however
succeeded better than I had anticipated.” Louisa [Pratt and sister to Caroline]
reported, “Today Sister Crosby spoke to the native sisters in their language
for the first time. She has not devoted so much time to study as I have.”
