Description

Excerpt from In the West Indies Kingston, with its neighbour Port Royal, is probably the best-known place of all our possessions in the West Indies. So much has been talked about it, so muchromance centred in and around it, that all English men know of it. It will therefore suffice to say that on arriving there after a thir teen-days' voyage on one of the ships of the Imperial Direct West India Mail Service we went to the Constant Spring Hotel. This hotel, four miles out from Kingston, on rising ground 300 feet high, commands fine views, and is charmingly situated in a large garden. It was from this place that we determined on an expedition to Port Antonio, on the north side of the Island, crossing the Peak of the Blue Mountains, and returning through the Bog Walk to Spanish Town. The first stage of the journey we made on the electric tramway which connects Con stant Spring with Kingston, half way be tween the two places being half-vvay Tree, where a branch line leads up to Papine Corner, passing the Hope Gardens and King's House. Hope Gardens, the station of the Imperial Department of Agriculture. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
