Several of the apprentices were at work in it, some setting up the casks for sugar, others repairing utensils.

Mr.C.says all the work of the estate is done by the apprentices.

"All these buildings," said he, "even to the dwelling-house, were built after the great storm of 1831, by the slaves." As we were passing through the hospital, or sick-house, as it is called by the blacks, Mr.C.told us he had very little use for it now.

There is no skulking to it as there was under the old system.
Just as we were entering the door of the house, on our return, there was an outcry among a small party of the apprentices who were working near by.
