FIRST FUNERAL. 387 
building three stories high, and each room 
eighteen feet in height ; all and everything 
astonished our people. 
Sunday, 15th. For some days little has been 
done towards landing anything, the Moray- 
shire being obliged from bad weather to get 
under weigh. Divine Service twice in the church, 
which is much out of repair about the roof. 
Administered the Holy Communion to fifty-eight 
persons ; but the only persons not of our com- 
munity were Captain Denham and Mr. Gregorie. 
After service a melancholy duty called us to the 
graveyard, which lay at some distance from the 
village. Yesterday, somewhat suddenly, though 
not unexpectedly, departed this life the infant 
Phoebe Adams. This afternoon we committed the 
mortal remains to its parent earth in that grave- 
yard where stands the record of many whose 
crimes had banished them from country and 
friends, and also of others whom deeds of violence 
and bloodshed after their arrival here had brought 
to an untimely, and, it is to be feared, an un- 
prepared end. 
Sunday, 22d. Divine Service twice ; weather 
moderate. At sunset a ship appeared in the 
offing : she has the look of a ship of war ; in all 
probability the Juno, which ship we are expect- 
ing ; if so, Lieut. Gregorie's stay among us will 
be short. We shall be sorry to lose him, for 
he is quite a favourite with our people, and 
deservedly so. Captain Mathers, of the Moray- 
shire, spent the day on shore with us, his ship 
standing off and on. Eight welcome is he to 
our hospitality.
