like to reminisce, and becoming nostalgia seek out an old
trunk or drawer to bring forth momentos and pictures Of their
beloved homeland. There is one picture that seems to be a
particular favonte with them, that of a magnificent avenue of
palms. Their eyes are misty as they regard it and relate how
the procession OF coconut and mountain cabbage palms, form
ing a stately avenue starts at Governors Hill and winds its
way gracefully down to Constitution Hill, once the estate and
plantation Of Captain Willard, American Consul, continuing
on to Sion Farm, Strawberry Hill, Barren Spot, past Kings
Hill all the way to Westend. And these old Crucians who
have not been back to their native shores since they left them
many, many years ago, some of whom can still remember the

MASSIVE LOG provided fuel for heating and cooking
and leaves, barks and fruits still supply foods and healing
drugs. The yoke upon oxen, the pillow they pulled to till fertile
fields came from a tree. The lowly litter, the improved wagon
