Mr.Schneider was his travelling companion from Aintab to Diarbekir, and Mr.Ford was at Mosul to greet him on his arrival.

The Rev.William Frederic Williams removed from the Syria Mission to Mosul in the spring of 1851, going in company with Dr.Bacon and his son Mr.Leonard W.
Bacon, then travelling in the East.

Salome Carabet, the eldest of the girls in Mr.Whiting's family at Abeih, went with Mr.Williams, to take charge of a school of thirty girls.
Dr.Bacon's visit to Mosul was in compliance with a request of the Prudential Committee, that he would make his tour of relaxation and improvement the occasion of visiting the several stations of the Board in Western Asia.

The attempt to proceed from Mosul to Oroomiah through the mountains by the most direct route, was unsuccessful.
The two travellers, in company with Mr.Marsh, soon after crossing the Zab, were set upon by Koordish robbers, who had been requested by an Agha, near Akra, to kill them.

So imminent was the peril, that they united together in prayer to God, led by Dr.Bacon.
