From China the Dido accompanied the commander-in-chief, in the Cornwallis, to the Spanish colony at Manilla, which is a place that few forget; and a short description of our visit there has been given in an interesting little work, written by Captain Cunynghame.
As to the spelling of the name, the family claimed ancestral authority as far back as King Fergus the First. Mrs. Van Camp, a relative by marriage a woman considered by the best Hambletons as far too frank and worldly-minded informed the family that King Fergus was as much a myth as Dido, and innocently brought forth printed facts to corroborate her statement.
