This is Norfolk Island, once the seat of an establishment in which werelodged the most intractable convicts from the English penitentiaries. They numbered 500, under an iron discipline, threatened with terriblepunishm...ents, and were guarded by 150 soldiers, and 150 employedunder the orders of the governor. It would be difficult to imaginea collection of greater ruffians. Sometimes, --although veryrarely, --notwithstanding the extreme surveillance of which they werethe object, many managed to escape, and seizing vessels which theysurprised, they infested the Polynesian Archipelagoes.
