BERMUDAS TO MADEIRA. 



57 



The weather for the last few days had been remarkably fine, 

 with a pleasant light breeze. "When we turned up on deck on 

 the morning of the 16th, we were already at anchor in the 

 beautiful bay of Funchal, and looking at the lovely garden-like 

 island, full of anticij)ations of a week's ramble among the peaks 

 and currals and the summer quintas of our friends — anticipa- 

 tions in which we were destined to be disappointed.
