The luncheon and general reception at
Spencerwood, the official residence of
the lieutenant governor, was called off
as mark of respect to the dead Amer

citadel in a barouche drawn by four
horses, with mounted Positions, and

the soldiers as he handed him his medal.
The royal party returned to the citadel

Illuminated. The warships were out
lined in strings of lights and far up on
the heights of the city the lines of in
