Noice To Creditors IN THE MATTER of the estate of William Cann, late of the town of Bow- manville in the County of Durham. a retired merchant, deceased. BOWMANVILLE, OCT. 26th.,'1922. BEAUTIFUL BERMUDA By John D. Koachie, Toronto. (Continued frorn last issue) Geologists affirrn that the Ber- muda Islands are really the erest or top of a subrnarine mountain ris- ing to a peak from the bottorn of the Atlantic Ocean, from a depth of 15,000 feet and the substance of tins land with ils his, rocks and soul is composed of the shela of minute coral builders encircling these is- lands wilh a solid reef barrier set in an irrîdescent sea full of lone col- ors and tints borrowed; so pleasing to the eye and sense; frorn the white coral bottorns of its bays and agita- ted on the surface by the rays of sunlight and moonliîght and fýrom the refraction of liglit and sky; for let me tell you, ils colors are neyer fixed but are as changeable as the opal for its waters may be a deli- cale purpie; then a brown patch may appear blending into the beryl, then drifting in to the blue of the sapphire from that mb toe lighter blue merg- ing mbt a sofler green. One may see il at the bottorn of its coral bed the beautiful fish of many tints sportîng among ils marine growlh thirty feet or more below the surface. As one cornes to its shores you are struck wilh the beauty of ils land- scape and lte writer shall neyer for- gel the first glimpse he had of lte is- lands as the steamship sailed mai esti- cally past on its way 10 port; for1 one's impresion aI first of its be- ing a soid mass of undulating soul is soon dispelled when you corne ashore and flnd that you are on a group of islands or coral rocks; peopled by a kindly warrn-hearted hospitable race of real men and wornen who pass a lime of simple living rni pally from the soul whose popul ation is about 2000 more than haîf of which are colored. The houses are built of coral slone, whitewashed, elean,,tidy confortable homes each having a garden and which they take and purity of its SUiR enchanting waters. 'Fie climale of the islanIds permit of the growth of peaches, oranges, bananas, strawberries, the flavor of the banana is exceptionally good. Strawberries are set out in November and bear in January. The crops of polatoes are oblained each year. Triumphs are planled in Auguat, September and October. Garnets in January and February. Onions, celery, lelluce, beels and carrots, parsley_ lima beans, green peas and portugese cabbage of excellent quaI- ity are easily raised. Arrowroot is a Bermuda produbt and there is no, onion like the one grown on theze isiancis either for flavor or mildness. Easter les are grown for Itheir bulbs. British currency is the recognized coinage, but Canadian and American dollars and cents are accepted at their equivalent value and- the trades- men and shopkeepers are honest, fait and square in their dealings. Juan de Bermudez a Spaniard discovered these islands in 1515, but they remaineýd in obscurity until 1906 when AdmiraI Sir George Somers was wrecked along with his party,, and there is a public monument er- ecled bo his rnemory at St. Georges. The first colonist 10 Bermuda arrived on July 121h, 1612 and since that date the Bermudas hiave been pro- tecled by the British flag, and their Parliament which dates from 1620 is the oldest law makîng, body in the world except the Mother Parlia- ment in London., The colored people are the descen-ý dants of slaves sorne of whom inter- rnarried witli Pequod Indians who were slaves in bondage also.' The Whiles are of English an.d Scotch stock rnany farnilies lracing tW~ir ancestry away -back bo earlier set- tiers on the islands and who, stili own the land handed down to them. There are rnany hotelýs and boarding. houses and accommodation for the visilor and tourist is assured as well as a welcome fromn a people who vie white and colored alike. b mnake the visitor f eel, at home, and whose an- cestor;s were poseibly seafari.ng1 Robert Stead's,, Greatest Book IN HAPPY NOVEL 0F THE NORTHWEST "Neighbours" is Nearer the Heart of Canada than Any Other of Fam- ous Caaadian Author's Books.
