Extract to the Editor dated ON board Brig Caracas
LAGUAYRA, March, 1912.
DEPARTURE FROM BARBADOS.

LAGUAYRA, March, 1912
DEPARTURE FROM BARBADOS.
On the morning of Monday, the 18th March, we
got under way and with fresh trade wind proceed
ed on our way TO Laguayra.
On the next morning passed near the British island
of Grenada which is high and mountainous; the green
patches of sugar cane in the valleys and plains to-
gether with the white houses of the planters and
shipping laying in the bays, formed beautiful
and interesting view.
The next day came in sight of some of the
islands off this coast that is the North coast OF South
America, and which formerly designated as the
Spanish Main by the English and Costa Firme by the
Spaniards. They are for the most part uninhabted,
and not of much account and we hear but little of
them they high, and can be seen from distance
of thirty forty miles. The island of Marguerite
is the largest and the Main 1t is forty miles
long, with high mountains in the east and west ends,
visible plainly at forty miles, while the part of
the island is low and cannot be at half that dis
lance. AS this is the largest it is likewise the most
important, being inhabited, and province OF this
government 1t was rendered notorious during the
revolution, having been two three times in pos
session of the Patriots and Spanards alternately and
it was the theatre of the butcheres of the bloody
Spanish General Moriles who put to death prisoners
and women and children, and the Patriot General in
return retaatng, although, believe, not in the lat
ter crime. The islands next in progress the Bro
theirs, Tortugas, Banquila, Ochla, AYES and the
Rocas, all uninhabited with the exception of few
saltrakers on the Tortugas.
Then come Buenayre and Curacao, belonging to
the Dutch. In Buenayre they make great quantity
OF salt, and Curacao contains handsome town. with
excellent harbour and well fortified; but the peo
pie poor not having much to trade in but salt
and some goat skins. To the westward of Curacao
lies the island of Aruba, likewise belonging to the
Dutch This island, few years since, was famous for
large of gold said to have been found there.
1t caused gold fever to rage in Curracoa and many
OF the inhabitants went TO Aruba to become rich.
How the matter terminated never heard, but pre-
sumo like all other golden visions, for even the
remembrance of it is passing into oblivion.
