"THE WHITE MAN'S GRAVE."
Empire exacts its toll with, melancholy severity, and the sadness is accentuated when the victims fall in the performance of a peaceful duty to no bright accompaniment of glorious and warlike circumstances. A "party of Royal Engineers, consisting of six officers and twelve non-commissioned officers, recently arrived at Cape Coast Castle in order to survey the colony. Within a few weeks, the "Navy and Army" states, three of the oon-commisisoned officers had died. The Gold Coast still lives up to its-ghastly reputation at> "the White Man's Grave."
