‘The contrast between the lean, hungry Cassius-looking coolies who arrive at Port Louis, and the stout, muscular well-fed fellows with well-lined purses who leave its shores, is very remarkable.’ Taken from F.J. Mouat, A Bengal Civilian, Journal of Five Months’ Residence in the Mauritius, Calcutta, 1838.
