Another espec ial" noticeable feature is, that in all the convicts, anil guards there is scarcel" ever aword slokcn unless it is a command from one of- the guards; it is hyvlardhe most solemn and 'impressive scene I have ever witnessed.' 1 The place in whieh they arc-kpt at night is something like a tent, in the middle of; which are' about 300 couches made adjoining eacli other, aitid to each coucli is attacked a chain viich is fastened to tho ankle of the convict, and then there is also la tioned at each end of the couchea ai T guard, thus making it almost impos: rd, thus making it al e for them tJescape.
