| | Mauritius and Madagascar, by Vincent W. Ryan |
 | | Tamatave, July 17th.--Though we have had offers of large houses to ourselves, the General and I have preferred remaining on board as long as the Captain can allow us to do so. |
 | | Angavo, August 5th.--From Tamatave to Andevoranto, where we turned inland, the beach is one mass of rolling surf; above that is sandy but rich soil, running in embankments parallel with the sea, and covered with a great variety of trees, plants, and flowers, amongst which many beautiful kinds of birds are seen and heard. |
 | | Tamatave, Sept. 1st.--Through God's grace and blessing, I have got back safely thus far, and it is now the fifth day that we have been here, waiting for our ship. |
