(10 be coutinued) West Indies and South America By Miss Elsie Carruthers Article No. 3 S. S. New York March 16, 1939 On March 15 we arrived at Jamaica - the magie isie of the West Indies! Il is a lush green island of streams and blue moun- tains, the charm of which grows on one until it is hard to say good- bye. Some of you no doubt knew Mr. W. G. Pettinger who lived in Bowmanville for some time. He aud his wife are now living on a banana plantation 2700 feet up in the Blue Mountains of Jamaica, and gave us such a wonderful time that Mrs. Cawker and I found it difficuit to express our appreciation adequately. The name Jamaica cornes from the Indian Zaymaca, meaning land o! wood and water. Neyer was a country more appropriately ruamed! The island is only 144 miles long aud at its widest, 49 miles, but the views are continen- tal in range - one sees mounitains, streams, green valleys, woods and cultivated fields that seem to roll on endiessly. There are about a million people on Jamaica, of which only 14,476 are white. The remainder are black, mulatto, East Indian, Chinese and "Not Specified." Columbus discovered Jamaica in 1494 on his second voyage to the New World. A few Spaniards ;ettled in the north part of the .siand, later moving to the south .vhere they bult their capital, Spanish Town, which is stili in- 'iabited by several thousand peo- ple. Two Englishmen, Penn and Venables, in command of a body of soldiers sent out by Oliver Cromwell, after failiug to take Haiti, captured Jamaica without very much difficulty. The islaud bas been under English rule ever ince and in spite o! tropical sur- 'ouudings, there is an English at- nosphere. Kingston, where our ship dock- ed, is a beautiful city which has aii been rebult since the great earthquake in 1907. Mrs. Pettin- ger was living on the island then and told us that she rau out o! the house in terror onto the lawn trhich was heavîng and roling ike a heavy sea. They expected any minute that the earth would crack and swaliow them. The de- :trtwtign ;nd loss ail over the is- laud was very great. In Kingston we first visited the famous Hope Botanic Gardens where rare aud beautiful orchids and tropical plants are grown. We then re- turned 10 the shopping district where we were delighted with the large cool deparîment stores and the beautiful merchandise. The idewaiks in this district are ail arcaded overhead aud tiled un narveilous patterns underfoot, 50 bat oue may shop iu comfort whether it rains or shines. One finds doeskiu in white and pastel shades, leather goods o! ail kinds, woollens, native grass products, Chinese embroidered work and 50 -n ad infinitum. There are mauy East Indian - stores which keep beautiful silks. The shops, unlike urs, have no display windows and their large doors are wide peu 10 the street; aI night they re shuttered. One cannot win- ow-shop lu any city inthe West Endies - after closing tîme there re no ligbts except the street ghts, there is nothing 10 be seen at all. Kingston is on a coastal plain and sometimes becomes v e r y warm, but we did not find it so. We drove out o! Kingston 10- wards the mountains, passing on te way the huge siik-cotton trce mentioned in "Tom Cringle's Log." We stopped aI Spanish rown and viewed the old Cathe- Iral first but by the Spaniards n the i6th century. It has since )een rebut on the samne founda- ons many limes. On we went, bliowing a beautiful river, the ijo Cobre, whose banks rise steep, )ut wooded, on either side. We )assed through a litîle village alled Bog Walk and then we be- ra to cîimb the mountains, up 'id up with hair-raising hairpin urus. At 2700 feet we reached the Pettinger's plantation, perch- ed on the mountain side and com- mandiug a beautiful view of green banana fields and misty blue mountains. We were really thrill- ed 10 see so many tropical fruits growiug: bananas, oranges, grape- fruit, papayas, pimentos, cocos- nuts, msugoes, guavas, pineapples; and sloug the vegetable line, di!- ferent varieties of yams, which are a tuber, but their vines are staked up about six feet or more above the ground. We had a most delicious meai there cousisting o! native foods, ah o! which pleased our palates. The menu follows: Grapefruit with ice Curried Goat and Brown Gravy Breadfruit White Yam- Yellow Yam Sweet Potatoes- Rice and Peas Fried Plantain Tamarind Chutney Tomatoes- Gungo Peas Guava Jeliy- Orange Jelly Home made Bread Baked Banana with Cocoa- nut Cream Home cured Jamaica Coffee. 1 ueed scarcely say that eat.pg a meai like that was a highly in- teresting as well as an enjoyable experience. Captain Bligh sailed to the other side o! the world on the "Bounty" and suffered the famous mutiny, ail to brîng back breadfruit trees from the South Seas 10 the West Indies. He did it too, finally, on a later voyage. And there we sat, savouring breadfruit, which is white, bread- like lu consistency aud tastes somethiug like potato, but heavier sud starchier. If you cannot gel a kick out o! eating a food with a story like that behind il, romance is simply not lu you. At a neighbooriug plantation o! 2000 acres, we had grapefruit that had not one grain of sugar on it, and yet was as sweet as if it had stood in sugar for hours. That is how sun-ripened fruit tastes. There, we sîso had a most pecul- isr fruit which tastes like a rich custard pudding, and yet grows on a tree. It is appropriately cail- ed a Custard Apple. If we had not tasted it, we would not have believed it. The plantation houses are large and cool with roomy verandahs which have no screens. They have no flies or insects necessitating screens. When it rains, they shut- ter their windows sud verandahs. The climate on these uplands 2000 feet and more above sea level is delightful. The fierîness has gone out o! the sun, a cool breeze blows, at uight the temperature goes down to the fifties. The couutry-side, in spîte o! tropical vegetation, has a gentie, cultivat- ed appearance and being well watered by mauy stresms, has excellent grazing lands which support large herds o! cattle.. We must not leave Jamaica without meutioning Kingston's respiendent black policemen, who, dressed iu sun helmets, white tunics aud blue troosers with red stripes "direct traffic with far more of an air than Napoleon could ever have dispiayed at Aus- terlitz." The quote is from "Car- ibbee Cruise" by John Vander- cock, than which, by the way, you will' find no better book on the West Indies. Neither must we for- gel to mention Kingston's luxur- ious hotel, the Myrtîe Bank, which is surrounded by beautiful grounds and has a swimming pool at the edge o! the ocean. We hated 10 say good-bye to our wonderfuî host and hostess, aud 10 enchauting Jamaica. There is only one thiug to do when you feel that way about a place, and that is to go back. Hundreds o! people do, every year. The island grows on one. The resolution 15 made at any rate; probably the most sensible one we have ever made. But for now, our ship wili slip away on the dot bound for Cartagena. A new continent - that makes us feel we are really travelling! Siucerely, Elsie Carruthers. Railroad Agent: There's auotf.- er farmer suing us on account o! his cows. Officiai: Killed by our trains, I suppose? Agent: No; our trains go 50 slow that the passengers lean ouI of the windows and miik the cows as they go by. Dean - So your'e back in schooi. I thought\ I expelled you last week. Upstart - You did, but don't do il again, because my dad was plenty sore.
