Text Appearing Before Image: sitory for grain, whence, in seasonsof scarceness, the poor are supplied on liberal terms. Meal, and grocery articles, are soldon Tuesdays and Fridays, to the indigent inhabitants at a very reduced price. Annually,at Christmas, a plentiful supply of beef is distributed. A number of apartments in the Castle are fitted up for the accommodation of ship-wrecked sailors; and so watchful are the trustees in the fulfilment of the sacred charitybequeathed, that a patrol is kept on stormy nights, and a premium given to theperson who first brings information of a ship in distress. During winter, a party isstationed on the Observatory, to see if any vessels are in danger; and, in foggy weather,various signals are given, to direct the movements of the shipping. It has been well remarked, that this ancient Castle, which was, in former times, sooften the scene of war and tumult, is now the abode of munificent charity, where the poor,the afflicted, and the ship-wrecked never call in vain for relief.
