He retired to his room with it and when he re- turned said, s think an infdel could not but be- lieye. if he travelled these places and read as he went" It seems easy for believer to believe, but, alas, the infdel will doubt. After this amu- sed myself gazing out upon the prospect afforded from my window and the open corridor adjoining our apartments, On our left was a small but safe and pretty harbor, where vessels from the north flee for shelter from the coming storm, guarded on one side by Fort Tighe, and on the other by our residence, Fort Manoel, these also guard the quar- antine harbor on our right, which we look down upon from the bastions, and can almost grasp the yellow flags that are futtering from the masts of the many vessels lying quietly in its basin. On a point in front of this is the Castle St. Elmo which has taken so prominent part in the various seiges of the island. Vessels of all kinds and from all countries are constantly passing and repassing and it is delightful to watch the huge waves, way off in the open sea, and see them roll onward till they dash and break themselves where
