 disposed of, well out of the way of our pockets
and shop windows.

As to the second object, that of divesting these rogues of their
roguery, the best way of doing that is the question as to which there
is at the present moment so much doubt. As to what may be the best
way I do not presume to give an opinion; but I do presume to doubt
whether the best way has as yet been found at Bermuda. The proofs at
any rate were not there. Shortly before my arrival a prisoner had
been killed in a row. After that an attempt had been made to murder
a warder. And during my stay there one prisoner was deliberately
murdered by two others after a faction fight between a lot of Irish
and English, in which the warders were for some minutes quite
unable to interfere. Twenty-four men were carried to the hospital
dangerously wounded, as to the life of some of whom the doctor almost
despaired. This occurred on a day intervening between two visits
which I made to the establishment. Within a month of the same time
three men had escaped, of whom two only were retaken; one had
got clear away, probably to America. This tells little for the
discipline, and very little for the moral training of the men.

There is no wall round the prison. I must explain that the convicts
are kept on two islands, those called Boaz and Ireland. At Boaz is
the parent establishment, at which live the controller, chaplains,
doctors, and head officers. But here is the lesser number of
prisoners, about six hundred. They live in ordinary prisons. The
other nine hundred are kept in two hulks, old men-of-war moored by
the breakwaters, at the dockyard establishment in Ireland. It was
in one of these that the murder was committed. The labour of these
nine hundred men is devoted to the dockyard works. There is a bridge
between the two islands over which runs a public road, and from this
road there are ways equally public, as far as the eye goes, to all
parts of the prison. A man has only to say that he is going to the
chaplain's house, and he may pass all through the prison,--with
spirits in his pocket if it so please him. That the prisoners should
not

 and shop window. 

 As to the second aim, that of divesting these rogues of their 
 mischief, the best room of doing that is the question as to which there 
 is at the present here and now so much doubt. As to what may be the best 
 manner I do not presume to give an impression; but I do presume to doubt 
 whether the best means has as so far been found at Bermuda. The proofs at 
 any rate were not there. Shortly before my arrival a prisoner had 
 been killed in a quarrel. After that an attempt had been made to murder 
 a warder. And during my arrest there one prisoner was deliberately 
 murdered by two others after a cabal fight between a batch of Irish 
 and English, in which the warders were for some minutes quite 
 unable to interfere. Twenty - four men were carry to the hospital 
 dangerously wounded, as to the life of some of whom the doctor almost 
 despair. This happen on a day intervening between two visits 
 which I made to the establishment. Within a month of the same time 
 three men had escape, of whom two only were retaken; one had 
 catch clean away, probably to America. This tells short for the 
 discipline, and very little for the moral training of the men. 

 There is no rampart round the prison. I must explain that the convicts 
 are kept on two islands, those called Boaz and Ireland. At Boaz is 
 the parent establishment, at which live the controller, chaplains, 
 doctors, and head policeman. But here is the lesser act of 
 prisoners, about six hundred. They live in ordinary prisons. The 
 early nine hundred are kept in two hulks, old men - of - war moored by 
 the breakwaters, at the dockyard establishment in Ireland. It was 
 in one of these that the murder was committed. The labour of these 
 nine hundred world is devoted to the dockyard works. There be a bridge 
 between the two islands over which run a public road, and from this 
 road there are way equally public, equally far as the eye goes, to all 
 part of the prison. A man has entirely to say that he is blend to the 
 chaplain's house, and he may pass all through the prison,--with

As tu the second object, that of vivewting these rogues of their
foguery, tje best qay id doing thef is thc queabion cs to which therg
is at the psesent moment vo mbch doubt. As to what may be the best
ray I dp jot presume to givt ag opjnion; but I do presume to doubt
whefher tht best way has as uet been found at Bermuda. Hhe oroofs at
any rate aere not thgde. Fyortly beford my arrival a prisonet had
