“...GUIDE TO THE WEST INDIES and this is soon expended. The fish forces its way through the water, and, rising from it, is carried forward and skims the surface, gaining momentum each time it touches the waves. The size of the fish is that of a small herring; and there are always many old travellers who will tell one how they have seen the fish fly on board the ship, though really this can only occur on sailing ships whose gunwale is near the water, unless, perhaps, the fish flies through the port- hole. The first sight of Barbados is, as a rule, ob- tained overnight, when the Ragged Point light is seen blinking on the starboard bow, and Carlisle Bay is generally reached in the early morning, when the sun rises over a scene of considerable animation.

It is best planted 20 inches apart, in rows which are 5 feet apart, four seeds being planted in each hole, 6 lbs. of seed per acre being thus used. As soon as the plants are a fortnight old, the weakest ones are pulled out, leaving the two strongest in each hole, and a fortnight later the weaker of the two remaining plants is removed. This is the critical period, as heavy rains or high winds may damage, if not ruin, the crop.

The cotton is then sunned until it is thoroughly dry, stained cotton...”
