About midnight of the 22d of May I arrived at the island, and cast anchor in the roads off the town of St.George, entering the inner harbor at daylight on the morning of the 23d, which made forty-two days' sailing from the Cape of Good Hope, It was a good run, and I doffed my cap again to the pilot of the _Pinta_.
Lady Bruce, in a note to the _Spray_ at Port Louis, said Grenada was a lovely island, and she wished the sloop might call there on the voyage home.

When the _Spray_ arrived, I found that she had been fully expected.

"How so ?" I asked.

"Oh, we heard that you were at Mauritius," they said, "and from Mauritius, after meeting Sir Charles Bruce, our old governor, we knew you would come to Grenada." This was a charming introduction, and it brought me in contact with people worth knowing.
The _Spray_ sailed from Grenada on the 28th of May, and coasted along under the lee of the Antilles, arriving at the island of Dominica on the 30th, where, for the want of knowing better, I cast anchor at the quarantine ground; for I was still without a chart of the islands, not having been able to get one even at Grenada.

Here I not only met with further disappointment in the matter, but was threatened with a fine for the mistake I made in the anchorage.
