Scene of the sentimental adventure of Paul and Virginia. Island under French control which means a community which depends upon quarantines, not sanitation, for its health. Thursday, April 16. Went ashore in the forenoon at Port Louis, a little town, but with the largest variety of nationalities and complexions we have encountered yet.
The vessel touched at Malta, thus giving opportunity, so far as the quarantines of those times would allow, for personal intercourse with the Rev. William Jowett, of the Church Missionary Society, and afterwards one of its secretaries. He received his American brethren in that catholic spirit, which has ever characterized that society and its agents, and gave them all the aid in his power.
The burthen of quarantines is felt at home as well as abroad; their efficacy merits examination. Although the health laws of the States should be found to need no present revisal by Congress, yet commerce claims that their attention be ever awake to them. Since our last meeting the aspect of our foreign relations has considerably changed.
The wheat's kernin' somethin' cruel fine I awnly wish theer was more of it an' the sheep an' cattle's in braave kelter likewise. Then the orchard do promise no worse. I never seed such a shaw of russets an' of quarantines 'pon they old trees afore." "'Tis a fine, fair season." "Why, so I say a 'mazin' summer thus far but what's the reason o't?
Men who travel habitually by sea do not rush from the vessel that has brought them to port, gripsack in hand. There are innumerable details duties, inspections and quarantines, and delays and questionings. The sea gives up her cargo slowly. The customs move with the swift leisure of those who live daily between Life and the Deep Sea without hurry and without rest.
