boyhood he followed the life of most col
Ored boys in the Bahamas, which consists
in diving for conch shells, sponges and
fishes. and owing to the geography of the
country, they spend the best part of their
lives in small boats, crossing the rivers,
bays and sounds which honeycomb the
island.
Eighteen years ago the Captain went
