BARBADOS
By V. Olive Currie.
Barbados is one of the large islands
of the British West Indies and like
Bermuda is of coral formation rather
than volcanic. Unlike Bermuda, how-
ever, the black are 'allowed to barter
and beg, and drive Ford cars heltcr
shelter and hooting through the nar-
row -streets, It is said that it was first
discovered in the early days by Port-
ugese who left some pigs on it so
that there would be a food supply for
any who might stumble on it later.
Then the British Buccaneers found it
and it is the one island of the West
Indies which has always been strictly
British. Those who know these
lands ,1vifl say that they always know
a Barbarian by his accent of the Eng•-
lish language which is distinctive
from all the rest.
Barbados, like Trinidad is a rieir is-
land It has its own Parliament like
Bermuda. 1 talked with one of the
members of the l;arbadan Parlia-
ment who has been aboard on one of
his six yearly business trips between
Barbados and Toronto where he is
interested in a big flour milling con-
cern. '.He also has an office in Trini-
dad. He can tell n'ar'y tales of the
Caribbean and life aboard ship. He
told me of how one trip he prevented
the daughter•:of a minister in Halifax
from marrying a black preacher of
St. Lucie; and of another time when
he pe.rsttedea a wife to turn back at
Trinidad to her; husband in N'ew York

City. Right now on shipboard is a
couple who have. eloped. The young
man had signed up for three years
with some business concern in South
America. The girl's fancily objected
to her accompanying hien on such a
venture. But here they are on board
the Lady Nelsen quite happy and
contented while the family back home
are wondering about her welfare. I
could tell you a great deal of the love
interest and human interest side of
life on a white ship in the blue Cari
bbean, but will reserve that for some
future time.
At Barbados one of the officers had
planned to take ine in the launch to
visit another ship of the several. at
anchor, pick pu a friend of his On
board, gather up a lady friend of his
friend's and we would all go to the
Aquatic Club in Bridgeport for a soc-
ial time. After we had left the lun-
cheon table the Captain called him
for a moment, so I went on to my
room. While waiting I' began to type,
and so forgot to let hind know where
I was. He was looking all over for
'me on the decks and in the lounges.
Finally, he went without nee. Later,
when I had finished the work 1 hap-
pened to get into the same rowboat
with one of the engineers and he
kindly escorted me about the town
and found a place where we could
cool off with an ice cream soda. A
tourist girl alone is simply beseiged
and torn to pieces, although not lit-
erally, by the blacks, so I was glad
that he made himself responsible for
my welfare. We visited the parks and
gardens, and admired the pink build-
ings against the background of vivid
tropical green. While rowing back to
the ship he pointed out a big Italian
freighter standing in quarantine and
no one allowed ashore because of 12
sailors aboard sick with 'the plague,
of beri-beri. The ship had come from
Ishtanbul,
We rolled up from St. Lucia to
Barbados in a stiff wind and as I do
not suffer from the roll of the ship
when I ani. asleep I went to bed early
that night. The two days since then
the elements have been still. We an-
chored off St. Vincents, one of the
most beautiful of all the islands, with
the little town of St. Vincents as us-
ual on the waterfront beneath a tow-
ering peak. There was time only to
row over, scout around a bit, and
come right back as the ship steamed
out at 11 a.m. for Granada.
At the time the English were col-
onizing Virginia, a couple of vessels
became strays and finally carne to
land at Granada. Although they were
good English families, they began to
intermarry with, the Caribs. In the
end they became white trash whore
now neither the whites nor blacks will
have any dealings, They are an os-
1 tracised clan on the half moon shap-
ed island of Granada. We started out
in the lanch and those who wished to
visit the town of St. George could do,
so. Those who preferred to swirn at
Grand Anse could go on with the
launch. I went along with theswim-
ming party; two girls from Bermuda
three from Trinidad, and a couple
from the U.S.A., and a ship's officer-
to see that no harm befell us. The
West Indian "girls are wonderful'
swimmers. The girls from Trinidad'
told me it was a pleasure for them to,
swim at Grand Anse which is free
from infestation such as jelly fish,
shark, and barracuda which abound in.
