“...beautifully situated on the south side of Chances
Mountain, which rises to a height of 3002 feet in
the southern group. It has several boiling springs
and vents from which steam and sulphurous
vapours emanate. Around it there are deposits
of gypsum and sulphur. The other Soufrière is
quite near Plymouth, and is easily accessible. It
is an ideal spot for the erection of a bathing
establishment, as there are hot and cold springs
near it, the former being impregnated with mineral
matter, chiefly calcium chloride. Visits may also
be made to lime, cotton, and cocoa plantations.
Few islands offer greater facilities for growing
citrus fruits, spices, vanilla, and tropical produce
generally....”
