from the Grande Soufrière, [29]
Mr. De La Roncière and I were
planning to spend at least two
ights on the summit of the
Grande Soufrière, hence we se-
cured hammocks and supplies
from Auxeline and set out by
carriage late in the afternoon
for Saint Claude where we wer
to spend the night on our f[or] way
to the mountain. Saint Claude
is healthfully situated about
1500 feet above the sea and
is the home of many men do-
ing business in hot Basse
Terre. Contiguous to it is the
former military establish-
ment of Camp Jacob, in
which are the governor's
residence and an excellent.
