“...CHAPTER XII ST. CHRISTOPHER or ST. KITTS Mother Colony of the British West Indies General St. Kitts, which forms one Presidency with Nevis Aspect. an(j Anguilla under the Government of the Lee- ward Islands, lies 45 miles to the west of Antigua. It is about 23 miles long, and has a total area of 68 square miles. Its population is 29,782. The island is purely volcanic, and therefore very moun- tainous. The central part consists of a range of rugged mountains running south-east and north- west, which culminates in Mount Misery, 3711 feet high. These mountains, which are clothed with bush and grass, run down to the coast, and their lower slopes are densely cultivated in sugar canes. The main range at its south-east end breaks into a semicircle which encloses a fertile plain, at the south-west of which is Basseterre (population 9019), the capital of the island, which is situated on the shore of an open roadstead. The town was de- stroyed by fire in 1867, and rebuilt. At the south- east corner...”

“... Rodney’s meeting with De Grasse in the Basseterre Roads, in which the French admiral was completely outmanoeuvred, an event described by Captain Mahan as one of the finest feats in the annals of naval warfare. The island was, however, restored to England by the Treaty of Versailles, 1783, which followed Rodney’s victory over De Grasse off Dominica on 12th April 1782. St. Kitts has been British ever since, although it was raided by Villeneuve in 1805. The Government of St. Kitts, Nevis, and Anguilla is administered by an officer entitled the Adminis- trator. There is one Executive Council for the Presidency, consisting of the Governor, the Ad- ministrator, the Colonial Secretary, the Attorney- General, the Auditor-General, and such persons as His Majesty may from time to time appoint....”

“...ANGUILLA 229 tedium of the journey! The old Bath House TbeBath Hotel, near Charlestown, should certainly be in- Hotel, spected. Now a ruin, it serves as a link with the past, when Nevis was the most popular island in the Caribbean for white people, and visitors leave with the impression that, given capital and energy, it might be now a well-known health resort. The springs near the hotel are of undoubted efficacy in the treatment of gout, lumbago, and kindred ills to which the flesh is heir. They used as far back as 1670 to be “ much frequented for the curing of the several distempers of the Body of man,” to quote Blome. The temperature of the water is 100* Fahr., and it is in all probability the heat rather than the mineral contents of the spring which produces beneficial results. A bath can be had in perfect comfort for the moderate charge of is., towels, coffee, &c., being obtainable from the attendant who lives in the old Bath House premises.

“...2 30 GUIDE TO THE WEST INDIES Climate, salt and garden stock. Anguilla, which has a population of 3890, is very healthy. History. The island, which derives its name from its resemblance to a snake, or possibly to its having been supposed to be infested with snakes, was discovered by Columbus on his second voyage in 1493- It was colonised by the English in 1650. In 1689 the settlers, having been maltreated by the Irish and French, were transferred to Antigua. MONTSERRAT The Emerald Isle of the West General Montserrat, which lies 27 miles to the south- *** west °f Antigua and 33 to 35 from Nevis, is about ii miles in length, 7 in breadth, and 32 J square miles, and.has a population of 12,215. It is entirely volcanic, and has three groups of mountains, the highest elevation being the Soufrière (3002 feet) in the southern part of the island.

“...y communication with St. Thomas by means of the government packet schooner Viking, sailing from Bassin. Steam communication between the islands has been a long-recognised need, but one which it has so far been found impossible to supply. The Quebec line of steamers, however, proceed as a rule from St. Thomas to West End or Frederick- sted on their outward voyages. The roads of the island are good, and well suited for cyclists. ST. MARTIN The joint-owned Island St. Martin, which lies between Anguilla and St. Bartholomew, is partly French and partly Dutch.

“...from a certain point on the coast, agreeing to divide the island between them by a line drawn from the point whence they started to that at which they met. The astute Dutchman was a slower walker than the French- man, but he started off towards the more valuable end of the island—that in which salt-ponds are situated. Thus, while the larger portion fell to France, Holland secured the richer part of St. Martin. ST. BARTHOLOMEW Guadeloupe's small Dependency St. Bartholomew lies to the south of Anguilla, General and 108 miles to the north-west of the French A8peet' island of Guadeloupe, of which it is a dependency. Its 8 square miles are very mountainous, and its soil, in spite of a scarcity of moisture, is not...”
