A FEARFUL PICTURE
We recently gave an outline of a lecture deliver 4

Abontthree quarters of a mile out in the sea, "there

these had chains (M, and nine , tentits loaded with hoary

the prisoners did not amve until half past 6 o'clock

of them spat on one side and tossed it up, the other
cried 'Wet,' cr and, if he won, whoever he
named was a dacmed man. They would split hie
skull with a spade! or. two of them would strangle
him with a chain! If they were detected, that was
what they wanted. The military and overseers knew
that if any of these men were seen to laugh, that he
premeditated suicide or murder. The phenomenon,
of a convict laughing was out of the question, except
that demoniac smile of green and deep-sunk bitter,

In the year 1816, there were 118 capital convic,

and in the same year there we convictions for petty

executions in one year. There is a small rock 7 - miles

All these mark the approach of the convict who has
felt and trod the blood-stained soil of Norfolk Island.
They are locked up in lung ranges of buildings as sleeps
log rooms; the berths are narrow, so much so that a
man cannot turn in t h e night. They are always, night
and day, under a military guard—sizty rounds greaten

breakfast at the same time—damper and gruel; dinner
—salt pork, unfit for use; twentyyears' old beef; cake
of maize, soups, &c. There are orders to be clean al.

allowed to speak to them. Up to 1437 there alma*

Sydney to prosecute, end. getting a rest from their ha

for liberty. This they attempt to gain b y any Mean'',
their faces are like demons; perjury an dmurder are
virtues in this dark spot. If one of them was found -
praying, they were sure to murder him, or entrap

fearing their assassination. Thirty one convicts were
