From the Gentleman's Magazine for November. . . [3 columns
describing the isle of St. Helena, in the East Indies] On
the summit of one of the heights is built a convenient look-
out house, which has two cannon near it. When a ship is
first descried, the two guns are fired; . . . Immediately
the drums beat to arms, and every body takes possession of
the different posts assigned them.
. . . Every one remains under arms till the Governor is
acquainted by the ship's boat who she is, and then the drums
beating again, dismiss the people to their respective
avocations.
. . . [3 paragraphs]
