The negro replied to his chidings in a humble way, saying 'I couldn't help it, sir, I couldn't help it' Mr.C.finally turned to us, and said in a calmer tone, "The poor fellow got confused, and was frightened half to death." [Footnote A: A species of whip, well know in the West Indies.] VISIT TO GRACE BAY.
We made a visit to the Moravian settlement at Grace Bay, which is on the opposite side of the island.

We called, in passing, at Cedar Hall, a Moravian establishment four miles from town.

Mr.Newby, one of the missionaries stationed at this place, is the oldest preacher of the Gospel in the island.

He has been in Antigua for twenty-seven years.

He is quite of the _old way of thinking_ on all subjects, especially the divine right of kings, and the scriptural sanction of slavery.
Nevertheless, he was persuaded that emancipation had been a great blessing to the island and to all parties concerned.
