Isolated front their brother officere that it would have
been an easy matter for those eosieicti to have murdered

the authorities at these works apes to very grave
censure, in allowing this unequal and improper dis-
tribution of their officers ? Sorely there are plenty of
soldiers on the Verne, closely adjacent, who may ho
