XXXIII, pp. 30s, 306. JOHN WRYLAND. 67 I might now justly have drowned my prisoners in the lake ; I had every legal warrant to do so, but my feelings got the better of me. I would spare the lives of the ex-king and his ex- minister. This is how I did it : I had learned in my youth the art of making whisky by home methods, of which the laws of my native land did not approve. I had therefore always kept my knowledge of the art a secret. I was now determined to turn to a hu- mane use the art my na...tive land had so ruthlessly discouraged. I therefore gave a little sketch of a worm and other apparatus that I should need for distill- ing a few gallons of whisky to a smith, with directions to make an apparatus after the fashion of the plan I gave him. They have excellent workers and smelters of copper on this island, the ore being found in great abundance 68 THE TRAVELS OP here; so I found no difl&culty in hav- ing the apparatus made. To be candid, I did feel some remorse at introducing such a degrading and enervating stuff as whisky into my kingdom, but it was done for a good and humane purpose, as will shortly appear ; and I was likewise careful not to allow a knowledge of the art of mak- ing it to be acquired by any of my sub- jects, having determined to attend to the distilling of the whisky myself.
