via New York. Her next adventure was to the
East Indiea where she travelled ely visit
ing many places far inland aud residing for time
At Batavia, Calcutta, and other large Cities
At Calcutta she formed the acquaintance of .
Col Goodwin, an officer in the British East Iadia
Company's service, and 1t was through his influ-
ence that she was induced to make this, her Sc
cond visit, TO this country.
The seizure at the Lafarge House was made ~

hereafter but proceeded with great volubility and
in an indignant manner to descant on the wrongs
inflicted upon her on ship-board and by the custom

femme de ehambre, and her two pets, a monkey
and poodle, were treated with great cruelty and
indgnty, that two attempts were made to poi
