In the Worlds Work Eugene p.
Lyle. Jr., tells the remarkable story OF
Captain Baker and jamaica" how
this gentle Cape Cod fisherman became
tho King of Great Britain's richest
West Indian isle. The .istory of the
conquest began thirty-ive years ago,
with an armada of one lone schooner.
She had two n.asIc and could carry a
hundred tons. Her owner and skipper
was Lorenzo Dow Baker. the son OF a
whaler. and child OF the sea as well.
He took cargo 10 Angostura and on
his return trip carried Let Of banan-
as. But by the time he reached New
York they had all rotteS. The next
time he got very green bananas. The
fruit was not plentiful, so be began

acres in bananas will be a rich man."
he told them with earnest conviction.
He touched intimately the lives OF
the blacks. He was known in their
and he helped them to build the
chapel for which, inevitably, they.
were collecting money. He talked to
the school children, rooms full of bright
eyed little tots, and he told them of the
good of money. Then he told them
how to get it. "Grow bananas" he
said. Grow them wherever your
nanny will let you have a foot of
ground"
Captain Ba.er had TO push his cam
paign of education at both ends. In
Jamaica he taught people to grow ba-
nanas, but in the United States lie had
TO teach people to eat them. They
were not yet On ordinary article Of diet.
and moreover the yellow kind from Ja-
maica was comparatively unknown.
But he succeeded. He revived the
island from economic prostration, and
it is tlourshinS. He did it by making
the panama trade.
Captain Baker still lives at Port
Antonio, which is not only an Ameri-
can town, but a Boston town. In the
