this side the Bermudss. Before leaving New York she
Is TO be placed in the dry dock and thoroughly

they profit by the lesson In the way Of hospitality
cannot promise them much just now in the present dis

TO languages all the officers OF the Bahama speak French
some OF them with great purity and iuenoy, but the
