JXJDSON. 321 JTJGGLEB. their lives of helpful kindness and their Christian instructions. The Government, however, had given some tokens of disapproval. Dr. Price, a physician, having joined the mission, was sent for by the King to come to Ava, the capital, and Mr. Judson reuioved thither to act as his interpreter. War breaking out between the East India Com- jiany and Burma (1824). the foreign residents at Ava endured great peril and hardships, llr. Judson was arrested at liis dwelling, thrown into the deatliprison, and subjected to cruel barbari- ties. After a year and seven months he was leleased. in February, 1826, on the demand of General Sir Arcliibald Campbell. He commenced a new mission in Amherst, Lower Burma, but an embassy being sent thence to negotiate a treaty which it was hoped would secure religious toleration, his senices as interpreter were again required at Ava. In 1827 he removed to Haul- main, where a church was formed. In 1839 Mr. Judson's health failed, and in 1845, because of illness in his family, he returned to America. In 1S47, however, he was back in Rangoon. Here he gave himself partly to the preparation of a dictionary, and partly to Christian teaching. In 18.50. his liealth having declined almost beyond the possibility of recovery", he was carried in a litter on board ship at ilaulmaiu in the hope that a voyage would benefit him. He died four days later, and his body was committed to the ocean, April 12, 1850. Xumerous converts, a corps of trained native assistants, the transla- tion of the Bible and other valuable books into Burmese, and a large Burmese and English dic- tionaiy nearly completed, are some of the direct fruits of his thirty-seven years of missionary service.

She was married in 1812. and shared with great fortitude her husband's trials and sutTerings during the beginning of his service in Burma. Aniile he was imprisoned at Ava she saved his life by ministering to his wants, and it was largely due to her untiring exertions that he was finally released. Her health was seriously impaired by the indignities which she suffered at tliis time. She died at Amherst, October 24. 1826. While on a visit home in 1822 she published a history of the Burma mission. Consult her life by Knowies (Boston, 1829). — S.^RAH Hall ( Bo.rdmax ) , Dr. .Judson's second wife, was born at Alstead. X.

Mr. Boardman died in 1830. and four years later she was married to Dr. Judson. She translated part of the Pilf/rim's Progress, several tracts, and a hymn-book into Burmese, and supervised a translation of the Xew Testament into Peguan.

She married Dr. .Judson .June 2. 1846, and the same month accompanied him to Burma. After his death (1850) she returned to America, but her health remained feeble, and aside from assisting Dr. Wayland in his memoirs of Judson, she could do little literary work.
