St Vincent. 22 May 1891. We had a very pleasant run down to St Vincent. The wind last evening and the Grenadines is very beautiful. I am able to point out objects and places of interest to Messrs Giltine, and to Mr & Mrs Smith's friends of hers on board. Mr Smith is the sister of Dr Blane of Tobago. Mr Schering, the Ornithist is also on board, as he is going back to England after replacing Grenada in the Crown's. There was also on board Mr Herbert Smith, a zoologist who had done splendid collecting work in St Vincent and Grenada. His expenses are paid by Mr Grobman an English man of science who is very wealthy. Schering introduced me to Smith and we had a long and interesting talk. Smith is going back to St Vincent to get me two specimens of area butterfly.

I started by the market and saw some horrible looking flesh, red in color and with a horrible peculiar olly smell, offered for sale. It was whole flesh, and I am told that the people like it. We then visited the Anglican cathedral very fine large building, and saw stab on the centre aisle on which we inscribed a spatula to Major ____ who slew Chalora the great Barb chief with his own hand in single combat, during the last Carib war. We then went to the R C. Church which was filled with people and ladies, and Mr Smith went up to the chancel and knelt downed herself and said widely a short prayer. We then walked back to the hotel and I did my luggage arranging good bye. The Hotel is quite comfortable, and the landlord, Mr Proban is anxious to please. Two fellow men staying there I had met before. One was Mr Alan
