Mr.. Wolston was able to join
us, as the rest he had enjoyed,
and the pleasure inspired by the
hope of a residence among us,
seemed to have given him new
life. This wish he now distinctly

in that of his wife, inquiring what
our intentions were, and propos-

with their eldest daughter, whose
health, like his own, was delicate,
should make a long stay on the
island, while the younger daugh-

Cape, and join our colony.

great surprise, leaning forward as
he spoke, to ring his glass with

vaulted roofs rang with the cheer

rom Jenny showed him how
much she thanked him for appre-
her wish, to return to her
