Description:

On arriving on Saint-Helena, Napoleon gets out of the way so that the slaves carrying the luggage can get through.

Notes:

facing page text: "At this moment some slaves, carrying heavy boxes, passed by us on the road; Mrs. Balcombe desired them, in rather an angry tone, to keep back; but the Emperor interfered, saying, "Respect the burden, Madam!" At these words, Mrs. Stuart, who had been attentively observing the Emperor's features, said, in a low tone of voice to her friend: "Heavens! what a countenance, and what a character! How different from what I had been led to expect!"
