Excerpt from The Adventures of My Life, Vol. 2 of 2
The naval department's ignorance, therefore, had the effect of applying to the least guilty - or, to be exact, those who got off with the lightest sentences - a much more rigorous punishment than to the others; because they were deprived of all communication with the outside world, whilst we were within reach of news, and able to enter into negotiations with the captains of any foreign vessels coming into the port of Noumea, should an opportunity of doing so present itself.
Knowing just about as little as our official naval men of the topography of the Antipodes, and not exactly understanding what was meant by a fortified place, I imagined myself buried away in a prison built upon a rock, the descent from which would be a most arduous task. Still, as only the dead never return, I accepted my incarceration with a light heart, and with the h0pe of abridging its duration to the best of my ability.
