Carriacou. 20 May, 1891. Patterson - the Caesar of the island. W.P. received as kindly and gave us some much needed refreshment whilst we waited for Dr. Durrant, the resident medical officer, who had been called away to see a patient some distance off. We met also the Rev. W. Gresham, the Anglican clergyman, who is somewhat of a character. Dr. Durrant having arrived we walked up to the little hospital within, and inspected it whilst we were waiting for horses. The Cottage Hospital was very clean, and the arrangements re- flected much credit on Dr. Durrant who is a young man of a energetic temperament and of useless energy. Horses having been obtained we started for Pellewne, the Doctor's residence on the top of a ridge 700 feet above the sea. The distance was but two miles and we passed through fields running right up steep hill sides off which the cotton crop had been reaped. Cotton is the principal staple of the island, and a considerable quantity is exported. On the larger properties steam gins are used, and on the smaller ones, the machinery is run by means of power derived from miniature wind mills. The Doctor's house was in the older time the 'great house' of a sugar estate, and hard by are the ruins of the sugar works and the great and massive wind-mill towers. The house is built of dressed stone, and it is still a very fine building - Dr. and other
