other port from the decrease Of the whaling fleet,
which formerly consumed large quantities Of To-
tatoes and other vegetables and fruits raised in
it. and which was the life of it, trade. Is peo-
pie. however. are not by any means discouraged,
but have set To work in good earnest TO remedy
the defect. and will this week organize a COM
ranv 10 erect a sugar mill. for which object nine
thousand dollars have already been subscribed.
The sum required it $4,000. and from the sue
cess which has thus far been met, there seems no
doubt that the whole amount will be raised /.
The enterprise is not confined to the foreigners, F..
but entered into with equal zeal by the natives. .
