“...Gulf of Paria by one of the Bocas del Dragón (the
Dragon’s mouths), the straits formed by the islands of
Chacachacare (the name is an Indian one), Huevos (egg)
and Monos (monkey), and known respectively as the
Bocas Grande, Navios, Huevos, and Monos (see map,
after page 116). Chacachacare, .on which a tall light-
house is conspicuous, is a leper settlement. On the other
islands there are pleasant villas which are much resorted
to for bathing and fishing. At the north-east point of
Huevos is Parasol Rock, where H.M.S. DtomcdciYy
grounded on August 10th, 1800. Her bowsprit was
lashed to the rock, and her crew of 500 men landed and
spent fifteen uncomfortable hours upon this inhospitable
crag. Then the weather having moderated they re-
embarked and got away.
On entering the Gulf one sights a lonely island to
the south-east. That is Patos, or Goose Island, on
which reside two Trinidadians whose duty it is to hoist
the Union Jack over it at sunrise and to lower it again...”
