Portuguese in East Africa: padre and pupil, Island of Chilvane, sketch by Mr. Wallis Mackay, 1890. Sketch made at '...the Portuguese station at Chilvane, an islet on the Mozambique coast...[Some] stations on the East Coast of Africa are used as penal settlements by the Kingdom of Portugal ; and many convicts, whose crimes were of a very different kind, have become Colonial officials, not much to the credit of that administration.The Portuguese Padre, or priest, attended by his young pupil, who figures in the Illustration of the settlement at Chilvane, would have enough to do in mending the morals of the European residents there'. From "Illustrated London News", 1890.
