"Rocks and storms they will fear no more,
since landed on the other shore.
They’ve dropped the anchor, furled the sail,
and now they’re safe within the veil."

Captain James McMichen 1808 - 1856
died at Demerara.

"Afflictions sore long time he bore,
Physicians tried in vain,
Till God was pleased to take him home,
And ease him of his pain."

Thomas Davidson, 1874 Feuar, Gallatown.

"Who plucked this flower?"
"I" said the Master
and the Gardiner fell silent.

You might be missing someone. (deep under the branches of this bush....I always look)
