A KINGS DOCTOR
GAILY EXPLORES
THE WEST INDIES

THE CRADLE OF THE DEEP. BY
Sir Frederick Treves. +. P. Dutton
& Co
CIR FREDERICK TREVES must
have had the time of his life
writing his book about the
Greater and Lesser Antilles and the
Spanish Main. He is not a geographer
nor a historian nor a professional
scribe. He is one of London's most
distinguished medical men-sergeant-
surgeon to the King and that sort OF
thing He is, however. great travel
Ter and a brilliant writer on travel.
He made his voyage to and through
the islands and their blue seas for the
Joy Of the thing and apparently he
wrote with the same impulse.
So he is trammelled by no stin
canons Of science or letters; he gam
bols about among his facts like true
savant at play He has read up his
subject: he has wonderful gift of
observation; he has a charming Eng
lish style. The result is perhaps the
most readable and one of the most
informing of books despite the many
shelves of others that have been writ
ten-upon this fascinating section of
the globe There are 376 pages in the
volume. and not dull one among
them. The letter press is aided by
numerous maps and photographs by
the author, the latter of unusual quail
ity and really enlightening the text.
The origin of the title is whimsical
Sir Frederick takes stock of the feats
of the British navy in West Indian
waters from the days of Drake and
Dampier and Frobisher and Hawkins
down to Nelson and Keppel and Rod
ney These seas were the cradle of
British prowess in maritime affairs
the cradle of the deep in which naval
heroism was rocked and nurtured into
its great glory:
I'm the seclusion of these gorgeous
islands, indeed. the long sea story of
England was begun. The West Indies
became the nursery of the British
navy. the school where the thews We're
hardened and the sea lessons learned.
Here was fostered and fed that soul of
adventure and reckless daring which
inspired the early colonist and made
invncible the man with the boarding
pike. Here grew from puny begin
nings the germ of the great sea Power
Of the world
I'm the proud romance of the sea, in
the ocean songs and epics, in the sea
stories which have been told and re-
told to generations of British lads, in
the breeding of stouthearted men and
the framing of far venturing ships,
the islands have been no less than the
cradle of the deep"
Sir Frederick shows in the pages
that follow that other nations-the
Spaniards, French and Dutch in par
ticular-had their share in the glorious
grading. 1t is true that all these
islands, from the tip of Florida to the
mouth of the Orinoco. and all the coast
of the Caribbean have been scenes of
adventure in multiple degree. There
Is not one of the smaller islands south
of Porto Rico that was not taken
again and again by French and Eng
lish or Spanish and English. Generally
the treaty that closed the war gave
II back to the Power which had lost
IL in the fighting. Four European flags
waved among the palms until we
bought the Virgin group from the
Danes. Three remain-the British, the
