Many of them were terribly bruized, and had suffered much during the voyage, as they will never lay down to rest while on shipboard; their first desire, on reaching land, is to do so, that they may rest their swollen limbs, which is to them a greater luxury than feed. St Helena island is one of the most beautiful of the Sea Islands, and is noted for producing the finest cotton in the world. There is also grown here large quantities of lemons and oranges. I visited a grove some four miles from our camp, consisting of several acres of trees, from which I cut some walking sticks.
