They are low and loaded down to the water's edge with rich, tropical vegetation.

The sloop spent six weeks in this group.

Every available part of the boat was packed with coral and all kinds of curiosities.

A run was then made to Charlottetown, Granada, where the collection was discharged, cleaned and packed in hogsheads all ready for the first boat that would call, bound for New York.

Here the sloop was again provisioned, then she set out for Tobago about one hundred miles southeast.
