30 
FROM TENERIFFE TO BERMUDAS. 
on the 29th, and, after a few more hauls with the dredge, the last day of the month found us 
once more at our old moorings. The latter were close to the floating iron dock, which, as 
may be remembered, was put together in England, and towed across the Atlantic, a distance 
of 3000 miles. 
At the time of our first arrival at Bermudas, we had been startled by another death 
on board, that of the schoolmaster, a man greatly esteemed for his attainments, and quiet, 
unassuming character. Apparently in good health during the day, he had suddenly expired 
shortly after retiring to his hammock. We now brought from Halifax a memorial stone, 
inscribed with his name and that of the young sailor we had lost off St. Thomas, and 
performed the mournful duty of setting it up in the graveyard of Ireland Island, already 
crowded with monuments of England’s sons who met here an early death in the service of 
their country. 
On the 12th of June, His Excellency the Governor of Bermudas came on board to 
pay a farewell visit, and not many hours after the pleasant Summer Isles had faded from 
our view. 
IRELAND ISLAND, BERMUDAS.
