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 ci RN- SYRUP pal, , ifcR NOURISHEOODD yq�, Eqs. MORE CANADIAN CHILDREN THAN ANY OTHER CORN SYRU P A product 0J° The CANADA STARCH CO., Limited. 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.
