Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Gardens of the Caribbees, Vol. 2 of 2: Sketches of a Cruise to the West Indies and the Spanish Main
Trinidad, it would have made a great difference in that luncheon, but it all came out wrong because some of us didn't know. Too late to in?uence us in the least, we read in the Daily Gleaner, Of Jamaica, that the beef sold in Trinidad is exported alive from Venezuela. TO be sure, we were aware that Venezuela occupies a large part of the northern coast of South America, and were conscious that Trinidad lies enclosed in a great bay of that coast, called the Gulf of Paria, oit the delta of the Orinoco River; also, in a hazy way, we knew that the Spanish Main is a name applied.
