THE TRAGEDY OF 29 On the contrary, Dunbar had a particularly prosaic time upon the island ; eating and sleeping and walking about. After the first shock produced by his sense of isolation had passed, he surveyed the island and made a map of it. Then he took possession of it in the name of his government, and formally annexed it to the United States by hoisting a flag made of a felicitous combina- tion of his handkerchief and his red flannel shirt. In order to put in the time, and to give himsel...f occupation congenial to an American, he held elections thrice a year, and he celebrated the 4th of July and Washington's birthday, when they came around, by reading the Decla- ration of Independence, and singing the " Star Spangled Banner. *' But his wife ! Did he ever think of her ? Ah, yes ! The bitterness of that separation no tongue can tell. Often he would lie upon his back and take from his pocket the thirty-three miniatures and look at them with longing and tearful eyes. And he would get to wondering which was Emma, which was Rebecca, which Columbia, and which Sapphira.
