age. those who escape the leprosy do COM
paratlvely well, but the appearance of health
In a man or white woman is a rarity. Young
negresses thrive better, and indeed are more
frequently perfect pictures well shaded) of
health, and of beauty too-Chagres, beauty!
-. There is one coffin in Chagres. a public
one, kept in the poor old matched church.
In this coffin all the poor-and in Chagres
all except one man are poor-expect, and
very reasonably too, to be buried, or, | ought
to say, to be carried to the grave. Hundreds
have used that old brown coffin, and I pre-
sumo hundreds more will use it. Children
stagger about the streets, covered with a lep-
rosy in its most loathsome form, only halfhid-
den by p~lantain leaves plastered over their
protruding joints, their little broiling forms
destitute of clothing, holding out their poor,
raw, suppurating hands for the aims Of the
passer-by. What sickening sights these are!
Poor little d~esolate, destitute and hopeless
wretches! they make the heart ache--and it
would ache worse if their appearance were
less provocative of nausea!
Our vessels trading there find matters bad
enough. Compelled to wait a long time for
their cargoes or passengers, their crews die,
and new hands are not to be procured. The
death of the crew, however, is generally rath-
er Il crime than a misfortune; and. indeed,
facts are such as morally, if not legally, to
Justify and sustain the charge of murder
against parties to be found within a very mar
row circle of underwriters, owners and cap
tains concerned in the trade to this wretched
place. They may perhaps divide the crime
among them, but the atrocity is not diminish
ed by any division of responsibility in the
matter. | allude to the fact affirmed by diff
terent captains in reply to my expostulations,
that to anchor their vessels outside ofthe bar
would be a irritation Of their insurance, and so
they bring them inside and lay them along a
mud bank in a cloud of miasma-not common
tainted air, but a sensib lie, risible, tangible poi
son. Every particle of this is "a dcath-seed,
and it soon fixes a root in every v~esicle ofthe
lungs of the poor sailor. He Gav reach
home, but he only gets there to die. The
captains do comparatively well enough, for
they live on shore.
notwithstanding the insalubrity and disad-
vantages of the place, not a case of sickness.
originating in any respect with the climate,
occurred on board this ship, although we lay
there near a month at a time. The. reasons
were, that our ship was anchored outside of
the bar, where all vessels that trade there
ought to anchor, safe from the influence of
the terrible malaria, and that a sensible eau
ton was practised in eating the fruits Of the
country. For this happy result we are in
debted to the precautions Of our excellent
commander.
