They were of various nutionalities --Germans, Danés, Belgians and Brit- ons--and they were of many trades. Six gardeners were of the party, one shoemaker, one compositor, one cook, one engineer, two laborers ind @ carman. An initial blunder was the neglect of regulations. It was to be a self- governing colony, of course; but as things turned out each man had a notion of his own as to what sliould be done and who shguld do it.
