By the post the journey took twelve hours, otherwise we should have been three days on the road. As soon as we reached Rome I went to the customhouse and put in the document relating to Betty's trunk. The next day it was duly brought to our inn and handed over to Betty.
They were quite a young couple: the husband was a clerk in the customhouse, and he and I had been friends from boyhood. "In the morning I went to look at my new ship, and was greatly pleased to find that my old officer, Lieutenant Sternberg, had been appointed to her. He saw me at once, came along the deck, and spoke very kindly to me.
But to her there was something uncanny about his being here in Nogales. When he was gone, she stepped out through the open window to the veranda that ran the whole length of the hotel, and looked across the street into Mexico. She was, she decided critically, about fifteen feet from the boundary line. Just across the street fluttered the Mexican flag from the Mexican customhouse.
At the same period, the number of sheep, goats, and pigs, was 321,000; at the latter, 32,000. 4th. In 1831 the number of horses, asses, mules, etc., was 64,000; in 1842 it was 30,000. 5th. The produce in corn, etc., had decreased in a much greater proportion that of seventy to four. The amount of duties raised at the customhouse in Monterey, from 1839 to 1842, was as follows, viz.:

The town's people repaired to the cliffs, and gazed long and anxiously, but could find no solution of the mystery.
A change in the period of terminating the fiscal year, from the 1st of October to the 1st of April, has been frequently recommended, and appears to be desirable. The distressing casualties in steamboats which have so frequently happened during the year seem to evince the necessity of attempting to prevent them by means of severe provisions connected with their customhouse papers.
