“'I wonder what it means?': The 'Canterbury' Van, in charge of Capt. Bull, with Cadet Johnson, has visited this parish. They received a warm welcome from the Vicar, and all connected with the Church, and by the crowded Meetings. I feel Capt. Bull will feel no regret at coming here. When the bills were first put out one could hear the people saying, 'I wonder what it means? What sort of a Van can it be?' and when it did arrive it caused some excitement, especially when it stuck fast in the mud. It seemed quite determined to remain there, for it took some time to get it out. When opening time came there was not standing room.
