CHAP. IX. GOOD FEELING AMONG DIFFERENT CLASSES. 251 



Africans, and the enlightened and judicious measures of the 

 governor, may have unitedly contributed to this. But to 

 whatever cause it is to be ascribed, it is alike honourable to 

 the white man and beneficial to the coloured, and it will be 

 regarded by the best friends of the country as an earnest of 

 the time when equity, and good faith, and right feeling shall 

 characterise the intercourse of the several classes with each 

 other, and constitute them one united, loyal, and prosperous 

 community. 



Having remained at Cape Town two or three weeks after the 

 termination of my journey, I embarked on board the " Pacific " 

 steam-ship from Australia on the 14th of June; and, after 

 touching at St. Helena, St. Vincent, and INIadeira, reached 

 England on the 18th of July, 1855, grateful to the Almighty 

 Disposer of all things for the health and the merciful pro- 

 tection I had experienced throughout my wanderings.
