A STORY WITT
VARIATIONS


Directly across the harbor from the
city OF Nassau, N. p, there is an
island called Hog island. On the north
side of that island toward the ocean
there is fine bathing beach which is
much used in the tourist season in the
winter.
The fee for bathing is % cents and
includes eating all the fruit that the
bather may wish. The fruit is peeled
and put on long sticks, which is con
sidered the real way to have 1t.
There is no limit.
Now it happens that there is a
story about a certain bather and that
fruit privilege which is a favorite in
Nassau. At least ten Of every dozen
men will try to tell you that story,
that is if you stay long enough. In a
brief time like three hours you are
likely TO hear 1t at least three times.
Mr.. Brown, who with two other
Browns forms the pilot trust down in
Nassau, told it first to a couple OF
Americans whom he was taking over
20 the steamer in boat No. 2.
you see that placer" he said,
pointing with bronzed finger.
That's Hog island. You can go
over there and battle and eat all
the fruit you want fer a quarter.
THE old fellow who runs the place
has made a mint. One day a fellow
came over and he ate bout 20 or
anges. BY and by maybe his con-
science bothered him and he said:
Say, old man, maybe I'm In
fringin''
"'Oh, no. says the old chap, you
know the name of the island
When the two Americans struggled
up the rope ladder to the steamer deck
about.
I've been down here a lot" he
said after awhile, but I've never
been in swimming off that island.
They say it's great. And you can get
all the fruit you want, too, thrown in
with the price of the bath. All you
can eat for a quarter.
They tell a story about the place.
One day fellow went over there and
ate about 80 oranges. By and by
maybe his conscience bothered him,
and he said to the old fellow who
runs the place:
Guess I'm eating too much eh?'
"'Oh, no. says the old chap.
"p'raps that's how the island got its
name when one Of you fellows came
along"
On board the boat when 1t left Mas
sau was a "conch," which is the Mas
sau name for an inhabitant Of the
island of New Providence. He was
telling about the place one night and
suddenly turned to one of the Ameri-
cans and said:
do you remember that island with
the lighthouse and the wreck just at
the harbor entrance? Well, that's
Hog island. It's a great bathing
place"
GO ahead, tell us the story of the
man who ate 80 oranges and then was
it's name"
ooh, that isn't exactly it." said the
conch with a British persistence about
details.
well, what is it?" asked the Amer
lean.
why this chap went over there
and stayed all afternoon and ate more
than 40 oranges, probably AZ, at least
so have heard, and when he was go
ing to go he sighed and said to the
proprietor:
We'll, believe I've had my
moneys worth; but l don't believe
you have
"'Oh, never mind said the old fel
low, this is Hog island
THAT isn't exactly what you heard
is it?" demanded the conch, in conclu
sion.
mo, not exactly" admitted one o.
the Americans.
And what's more, the story is in the
guide books to Nassau.

the afternoon the Indians defeated
our boys in snappy game, the score
being to 0. White Cloud ana hall

the pitching of White Cloud.
At night the locals defeated the
red skins, the score being . 10 T.
Notwithstanding the Disadvantage our
boys labored under, not being accuS-
toned to playing bali under arc lights.
The Grenadians played excellent ball
and are to be congratulated over their
victory.
