That was In the days when the home Gov.

island. Gov. Smyth was sent out TO tn . Baham As
to prepare the property ownersso this change
and public sentiment was against him. Gov.
Smyth was captivatsd BY beautiful Nassau.
and no presented to that city this statue Of
Columbus. The donors unpoputarity va. .or
several years reflected on his gift Slavery
was abolished, however. public sentiment in
the Bahamas changed. and this same statue Of
Columbus is now considered one OF the great
est treasures OF Nassau.

It IS due to Mr.. 7. J. McLain. who has
