which have resulted in the remarkable

dentioJIy possessed of one solitary copy
of the llibie, and a pravcr book, which
had belonged to tho Bounty, and of these

The captains had approached the island
not knowing it lo bo inhabited, and were
not n liltlo surprised to f.ttd plantations
laid out, and neatly constructed huts and
house;
Thev found the settlement lo consist of
' forty. six young people and a number of
small ciiiiurcn. I ne young men, tney
described as fine, athletic fellows, with
z
facta fiill of frankness. 1 he young wo.
men wero tall and finely formed, of tmil
lug countenance ; but wearing an air of
modesty and liatnrutncss, which would do
honor to tho most visjuout nation on earth.
Their liltlo houses were model of com.
fort and cleanliness, and the ground nil
around Were carefully cultivated. All
their ".flairs wore systematically conduct,
ed. Old Adams managed the whole, and
was regarded w Ith referenco and afleclion.
He was, omphatlcally what ho haa been
termed, an Island patriarch.
All wero engaged in tiie cultivation of
the ground and iu fishing. The nino mil.
tlneurs had originally divided the island
into nino part ; it bas.been sub-divided
since, and at the present time It divided
into twenty-two pari. They had a reg
ular system of barter as of salt for fresh
provisions ; vegetables and fruit for poul
try and fish, Vc.
In 1835, Captain Duchey who visited
tho Island, left tho following record of
their simplicity and happiness :" Those
excellent people appear to live togothcsln

Adarns, and the leeson by one appointed
by him for lhal purpose, i
Their oondition has not materially
changed for twenly-five year's, except for
the better. About four inohtb before the
