I rejoined the ship at Colon accompanied by another group of English speaking Panamanians. Then at Kingston a brother Walter Draper, along with a dozen other Jamaican brothers and sisters, formed a welcome party on the quayside and took me off for a happy day of fellowship. As we sailed out of Kingston harbor, my three shipmates formed a barrier to my cabin. “Just who are you,” they demanded, “please tell us.” It gave me a wonderful opportunity to preach the truth.
