Spanish Town (33 min.), Old Harbour (1 hour 9 min.), Porus
(2 hours 27 min.), and Montego Bay (7J hours). Another line
extends from Spanish Town to Bog Walk (25 min.) and Port
Antonio (3| hours-4 hours and 20 min. from Kingston). From
Bog Walk, Ewarton is reached by a branch line (27 min.), and
another branch line opens up the Rio Minho valley and Upper
Clarendon from May Pen. Motor-cars meet all the trains at
the principal stations. In the tables opposite are the names

“...of Inchi-
quin, Governor of Jamaica from 1660 to 1661.
Bog Walk (boca de agua, or water’s mouth), a beautiful
gorge of the Rio Cobre, is a charming drive from Spanish
Town. A pleasant excursion can be made from King-
ston by taking the early morning train to Spanish
Town, and driving thence through the gorge to the
village of Bog Walk. At the lower end is the Dam of
the Rio Cobre irrigation canal, and at the upper Gibral-
tar Rock, through which the railway runs to Ewarton
in a tunnel half a mile long. The tourist should drive
back to within three miles of Spanish Town. Here he
can embark on a punt on the irrigation canal, which,
shaded by coco-nut palms and tropical foliage, is of
surpassing beauty, rejoining the car again within a short
distance of Spanish Town.
From Spanish Town a branch of the Government
Railway runs by a circuitous route to Port Antonio
on the north side and towards the eastern end of Jamaica.
The line runs up Bog Walk on the right bank of the Rio
Cobre, and crosses...”

“...a shipping port of consequence. In the Court House
rebuilt after a fire in 1926 are portraits of General Sir
John Keane, Lieut.-Governor from 1827 to 1829, and
Sir Charles Metcalfe, Governor from 1839 to 1842.
The Parish Church contains monuments to John Hodges
(1787), a member of a well-known West Indian family,
and James Blake (1753).
Between Falmouth and Montego Bay (22 miles—
see page 284) the road skirts several historic sugar
estates including Ironshore and Rose Hall (see page
289).
From Bog Walk on the Port Antonio line a branch line
of the railway runs to Ewarton (17J miles, 1 hour).
From there an enjoyable expedition can be made over
Mount Diablo (10 miles) to Moneague, whence a drive
may be taken through the famous Fern Gully to Ocho
Rios and the Roaring River Falls. The road over Mount
Diablo, or Diavolo, affords superb views of the Blue
Mountains. Fern Gully is a natural gorge of surpassing
beauty, with steep sides covered with ferns, through
which a winding road runs towards...”
