However, had not we the seductive program still, with its Paris, its Constantinople, Smyrna, Jerusalem, Jericho, and "our friends the Bermudians?" What did we care?
The Americans have shown, both in the Canal Zone and in Havana, that with sufficient organisation it is quite possible to extirpate these dangerous pests, and the Bermudians could not do better than to follow their example. Our soldier-gardeners at Government House had their own methods, and were inclined to attach importance to points considered trivial by civilians.
The fruits which a stranger may meet with are no doubt delicious, since among them he will find the shaddock and the pine-apple; but for these, as well as for almost all their other comforts and luxuries, the Bermudians are indebted to the continent of America or to the West Indies.
We bade good-bye to "our friends the Bermudians," as our programme hath it the majority of those we were most intimate with were negroes and courted the great deep again. I said the majority.
The convict establishment is the most notable feature of Bermuda to a stranger, but it does not seem to attract much attention from the regular inhabitants of the place. There is no intercourse between the prisoners and the Bermudians. The convicts are rarely seen by them, and the convict islands are rarely visited.
The powder procured from the Bermudians led to the first great victory gained by Washington in the Revolutionary war, the evacuation of Boston by the British army. After the arrival of the powder Washington caused numerous batteries to be erected in the immediate vicinity of the town.
The Bermudians are hoping soon to have telegraphic communication with the world. But even after they shall have acquired this curse it will still be a good country to go to for a vacation, for there are charming little islets scattered about the inclosed sea where one could live secure from interruption.
Bermudians, Jews, Quakers from Barbadoes and criminals from Newgate, helped to swell the population of the new colony, and in 1658 the island is said to have contained 4500 whites, besides 1500 or more negro slaves. To dominate the Spanish trade routes was one of the principal objects of English policy in the West Indies.
Egypt and "our friends the Bermudians"! People in Europe desiring to join the excursion contagious sickness to be avoided boating at the expense of the ship physician on board the circuit of the globe to be made if the passengers unanimously desired it the company to be rigidly selected by a pitiless "Committee on Applications" the vessel to be as rigidly selected by as pitiless a "Committee on Selecting Steamer."
Appalling ignorance of geography amongst English people Novel pedagogic methods "Happy Families" An instructive game Bermuda A waterless island A most inviting archipelago Bermuda the most northern coral-atoll The reefs and their polychrome fish A "water-glass" Sea-gardens An ideal sailing place-How the Guardsman won his race A miniature Parliament Unfounded aspersions on the Bermudians Red and blue birds Two pardonable mistakes Soldier gardeners Officers' wives The little roaming home-makers A pleasant island The inquisitive German Naval Officers "The Song of the Bermudians."
