BURIED WITH KINGs.-Bret Harte,
American consul at Glasgow, writes of
recent visit to the island of Iona, where
he saw the graves of nineteen sailors,
drowned by the wreck of the American
ship Guy Mannering, December, 1865.
'"The spot" said Mr.. Harte, sis marked
by two rows of low granite pediments at
the head and feet of the dead, supported
and connected by an iron chain, which
incloses the whole space This was done
by the order and at the expense of the
lord of the manor, the present Duke of
Argyll. The locality is picturesque and
historical The graves of the American
seamen lie side by side with the tombs
and sculptured efigies of the ancient
Scottish kings. A record of the names,
ages, and burial of these men is kept by
the Registrar of the District, but there is
no memorial upon the stone enclosure.
The fact of their burial there, and the
story Of their generosity of the distin-
guished nobleman, is learned only from
the lips of the hired guides The State
Department has directed that the Duke
be thanked for his generosity.
