FROM ENGLAND TO ICELAND. 13 affording a resting-place for the eye, but form- ing a striking and picturesque addition to one of the most beautiful panoramas I have seen. We are loth to leave the deck even for break- fast, but console ourselves with the reflection that we shall be able to see a good deal during the twelve hours at our disposal before the time fixed for sailing. Though it is Sunday morning, the cargo is meanwhile being rapidly transferred to the large whale boats, which began to fetch it soon after our arrival, and from the number of men employed, and the evident bustle and excite- ment on shore, I conclude that the little white church, which forms the most conspicuous object on the outskirts of the town, will have plenty of room for the accommodation of strangers, and that the poor prsestur will not improbably have to preach to “ a beggarly array of empty benches.” The coming of the Camoens is a great event in the lonely Westmann’s Islands. It not only breaks the monotony of what must be a dull and dreary existence, but is a source of general re- joicing amongst all classes of the community, for her freight is precious in the eyes of a people who are compelled to depend upon an outside, and to them far-away world, not only for the very means of life, but for many of the com- forts, and all the luxuries, which their limited means will permit them to enjoy. I come to the conclusion, therefore, that the recording angel who with a tear blotted out Uncle Toby’s oath will bend a pardoning eye upon what to some would appear to be Sabbath desecration, but what is really and in the truest sense a work of necessity.
