WHERE KING OF SLAVES REVEAL

The palace of San Souci, built by
Christophe, the black leader of Haiti,
is situated in the hills above the level
vale of Milot, with a background of
forest and foreground sprinkled with
the palms and the huts of simple Gull
tivators. Dilapidated ruins and tan
gle of tropical trees are the rueful
remnants of the glory that was once
the Palace without Care and the gar
dens of delight of the King of Slaves.
1t was off the coast of Haiti, near
the site of this place, that the nag
ship of Columbus was wrecked, and
here he left most Of his men when he
returned to Spain for aid. Upon his
return to the settlement, which he
called LA Navidad," he found the
whole party dead, including an Eng
lishman named Allard and an Irish
man who was entered on the Santa
Maria's Books as William of Galway.
