Departure of the Ex-Governor from Freetown, Sierra Leone, 1854. Creator: Unknown

Departure of the Ex-Governor from Freetown, Sierra Leone, 1854. Sir Arthur Kennedy leaves the coast of West Africa. We are indebted to a Correspondent for the accompanying Sketch of the departure of the ex-Governor of the colony, which took place on the 13th of October, from the public wharf at Freetown, in the Forerunner steamer. Mr. Kennedy assumed the government of the colony on the 12th October, 1852, so that, at the period of his departure, he had just completed a period of two years of his administration. The firmness and vigour with which his Excellency was wont to suppress crime raised up for him some enemies; but the great gathering which assembled on the public wharf, and thronged all approaches, in order to bid adieu to his Excellency, testifies to the high respect in which he was held by the community at large'. From "Illustrated London News", 1854
