A sailor's life under four sovereigns . cheery, happy family. We met indifferent parts later on. Baron Hill was burnt downMay 1836. The Menai Suspension Bridge was still a curiosity- ?—the foundation laid in 1819, first chain, 1825;when a sailor walked across, and on which a shoe-maker, sitting across, completed a pair of boots. Thegeneral opening took place early in 1826. My friend Charles Paget, in command of theProcris, 16, was the first man-of-war, and, I believe, the last, that sailed through. There was a family of Williams, near neighbours, at Craig-y-Don. Tom Williams had two yachts, the Hussar and Gazelle. The Hussar was a rakish-looking schooner, but he spoilt her in trying to makeher a man-of-war brig like Pagets Procris. Hehad capital shooting—hanging woods on bank of theMenai Straits. I returned there in later years. There was also a near neighbour to Kinmel, SirJohn Williams, at Boddlewyddlam. • He, too, hada pretty daughter, but the Welsh women were allcharming.
