Thinking it may be pleasant for our
friends to follow us through our voyage
with brief notice of various objects Of
interest by the way, | will again give you
few notes from my Journal We are
sailing to-day in full view of the coast Of
Africa, aud are now off the coast of Tunis.
Just out Of sight, lies the city of Tunis,
supposed to be located on or near the site
Of the ancient city of Carthage. About
two 2, NJ. We pass the beautiful island
of Pantellaria, which rises to a high
mountain in the center, sloping down to
the waters edge. 1t is thckly settled
along the coast, the houses being all white,
and in a central position appears what
seems to be large castle, probably built
for the protection of the inhabitants.
The whole region near the sea is covered
with vineyards, and in some instances,
the cultivation is extended far up the side
Of the mountain. We pass between the
islands Sicily and Malta, to the latter ol
which peculiar interest is attached, Of
being the scene Of the sbipwreck Of the
apostle Paul; but as we pass in the night
! | will not attempt description. AS w
