ears which have fallen over the story of the
young and amiable Prince Le Boo.

Accounts from St. John's

But to resume the thread of the narrative respecting Kalli. During the
winter of 1855 and 1856 he had suffered frequently from cough, and
shown other signs of constitutional weakness. His cheerfulness,
however, had seldom failed him; his readiness to please, and be
pleased, to oblige, and be obliged, never. In letters which he sent to
friends in England, he always spoke with gratitude of the kindness
shown him, and of being very happy.

Letter from Kalli

The following letter to Mr. Blunsom, who, as it will have been seen,
had treated him with constant kindness, and done him much good
service, will be read with interest.

"St John's College, Newfoundland,
January 7, 1856.

"I received your kind letter by the December
mail, and am very sorry to hear of your illness. The
weather here is very cold, I feel it more than at
Cape York. I have begun to skate, and find it a
pleasant amusement. There is a lake a little
distance from the College, called, 'Quidi Vidi,' on
which we practise. The Bishop is very kind and good
to me. College here is not so large and fine a
place as St. Augustine's: nor are there so many
students. I hope that all my kind friends at
Canterbury are quite well. Please remember me
kindly to Mr. and Mrs. Gipps, and all at St.
Augustine's. With kind love to yourself,

"I remain, yours affectionately,

"KALLI."

Kalli's Illness and Death

With respect to the fatal attack under which he soon sunk, it has to
be mentioned, that he had gone out to bathe with one of his
fellow-students at St. John's, on Saturday, the 7th June. From
continuing too long in the water, which was very cold, he caught a
chill, and showed many symptoms of inflammation for some days. On
Wednesday, good medical assistance was called in, but his constitution
had received too violent a shock. The Surgeon had fears from the first
that his patient would not recover. It has been observed by medical
men, that Esquimaux have but little stamina, and generally fail under
the first attack of serious illness. Kalli was kindly watched and
assisted by the Rev. J. G. Mountain, and Mrs. Mountain, and his
fellow-
