TIME was when the port of K Charlotte Amalie was the crossroads of the Western World, the supply base of the whole West Indies. Here, in the day of the Danes, old Edward Teach, the Blackboard of tradition, with 14 wives, is said to have lived and reveled. Here too, rested and fought and loved countless of the pirates of the Spanish Main.
 So today, Charlotte Amalie. often better known as St. Thomas, capital of the Virgin Islands. basks in the sunlight of its yes- terdays, turns out to welcome each passing ship, lives meantime, on her one important industry-bay rum.
 You see bottles of bay rum everywhere; of dozen different names and strengths. The liquid is distilled from bay leaves grown on the neighboring island of St. John. It is the big source of rev. enue.
 Tiny patch of seacoast nestling on hills teraced up from the wa ter's edge, Charlotte Amalie is a city of 7400 blacks and a handful of whites. There are only two- plate glass windows in the entire town and these are protected by hurricane shutters. Here you drop back 300 years and here, too, you never miss your siesta for this is the tropics. Withal it is one of the most beautiful spots in the world. Strange combination of Danish, Negro and, since 1917, A m r c an cultures, Charlotte Amalie is shown on the new Vir- gin Islands stamps issued by the United States.
