Found this paragraph by Googling:- AT HALIFAX, NOVA SCOTIA Monday 21st July The Hyacinth arrived from Bermuda in 5 days, and has lately come from the Mosquito Coast, where she has been present at the Coronation of George Augustus Frederick, a Black boy 12 years of age, as King of the Mosquito territory. Some of the Chiefs who did honour to the Coronation, had money given to them (our Income Tax I suppose) to buy Hats and Boots, but altho’ bought, the Procession began before they could rig. So they fell in with the Hats in the blue boxes under their arms and carrying their boots with them. The bearer of the Sword of State was afflicted with St. Vitus’ Dance and at intervals made a spring of about a yard and a half, side first - throwing the Sword up to the extent of his arm. The man who was carrying the Crown on a Cushion threw it up like a pancake, and caught it several times. Kath. x

George Augustus Frederich was the King in 1859 If you google it you will find out that its in Nicaragua (South America). Also known as the Miskitu Kingdom.

I have been googling for info and as often happens, one gets pulled off track. I found the following death notice in a Liverpool paper for the year 1849. On 12th December 1848, in Weymouth, Prince Clarence, aged 14, son of the late and brother to the present KING OF THE MOSQUITO TERRITORY. My mind is boggling, any thoughts as to who this elustrious king was??? Kathlyn
