The CONTRABANDs AT PORT ROYAL
Rev. DIR. Strickland writes from Port Royal :
Z" Extensive preparations are being made
here for the accommodation of the slaves of
the district. Long rows Of houses, capable
Of containing husdreds of contrabands, have
been erected west Of the enca mpment of the
provost marshal, and we infer from this that
all who have been left on the islands will be
sent here for safe keeping. One end OF the
building ON the east is partrtioned off for
church and school purposes, having all the
appointments necessary therefor"
