an expedition to San Clemente Island

our business to shoot into herds of
goats after we had located them.
THE first few times we located
herds the machine was plunged down

within one hundred feet of the fright

sensation of falling 900 feet, head

There are thousands of the wild |
goats on San Clemente Island, which !

At Salem.

The plantation Of Salem was In .
region below the Pedro plains In the
parish Of st. Elizabeth, where grow
the aloe. and torch-thistle, and clumps
of wood which alter the appearance
of the plain from the South Downs
of England, but where thousands OF
cattle and horses even in those days
were maintained. The air of the dis
trict was dry and elastic, and it Ill
tered down to the valleys near Ike
that where Salem was with its clus-
tiers of negro huts and offices, its mills
and distilleries. where sugar and rum
were made. Salem was situated on
the Black river, accessible by boats
and canoes. The huts of negro slaves
were near the sugar mills. without
regard to order, but in clusters of ba-
mana, avocado-pear. lines and oranges,
and with the cultivated land round
their huts made an effective picture.
Every plantation had a surgeon who
received a small sum for attendance
on every slave, while special cases OF
midwifery, incubation, ETC., had q par
ticular allowance. The surgeon had
to attend to about four hundred TO
FIVE hundred negroes, on an income OF
ESQ per annum. and board and lodg-
ing and washing, besides what he made
from his practice with the whites.
Salem was no worse than some oth-
err plantations on the island, but 1t was
far behind such plantations as that
owned by Dyck Calhoun, and had been
notorious for the cruelties committed
| on it. To such an estate lady IKE

dockage and lightweight

kept for the profit of the
