Fascinated by the numer ous talks of the beauty of the Island, I counted hours a days through my whole voyage until the lovely morning scenery presented to meet my eyes on the President boat steaming into the harbour.

However, when the small boat, conveying All my baggage of twenty-seven pleses, touched the wharf of the opposite side of the harbour, the unloading was subject to another search-a very long search.
