At the present day crime is rare in the island.

While I was there, Governor Sterndale, in token of the fact that not one criminal case had come to court within the year, was presented with a pair of white gloves by the officers of justice.
Returning from the governor's house to Jamestown, I drove with Mr.
Clark, a countryman of mine, to "Longwood," the home of Napoleon.

M.
Morilleau, French consular agent in charge, keeps the place respectable and the buildings in good repair.

His family at Longwood, consisting of wife and grown daughters, are natives of courtly and refined manners, and spend here days, months, and years of contentment, though they have never seen the world beyond the horizon of St.Helena.
On the 20th of April the _Spray_ was again ready for sea.

Before going on board I took luncheon with the governor and his family at the castle.
