When the period of the consulate of Mr. Hempstead pre was over, he had
become so much attached to Belize, that he decided to make it his
future residence. His daughter said she could not imagine what he
found to like in the place, for between earthquakes and yellow fever,
one was in a continual state of terror; there was no society, the
population being almost entirely negro, and no schools; consequently
the children of the few white resident families were obliged to go to
England or to the United States to be educated.
