When the Steadfast sighted the lofty
peaks of St. Croix the atmosphere
assumed a peculiar light color. and
ii became impossible TO detect the sky
from the island. everything assuming
a similar sifade and color resembling
the GIRO stratus clouds, hiding the
entire lower portion of the island. The
peaks and mountain tops appeared to
be twenty miles away. The tops OF
the mountains seemed to be inverted,
the tall cocoanuts appeared TO grow
from sky 10 earth. The sugar grinding
mills were pouring their smoke down
ward and the workmen working upside
down. The Steadfast was kept under
easy sail and perfect control. Every
thing went well until grinding sound
was heard, and sudden tremor went
through the ship. The vessel crashed
over the reefs, and was soon fast on
the rocky shore, where her wreck still
remains. The mirage made the island
appear twenty miles away.
