SummaryResumen
A correspondent describes his ship's arrival at Samana, sighting land on the morning of the 24th, tracing the mountain range westward from Cape Cabron, and entering the bay past hills, palm groves and small settlements to Santa Barbara de Samana. The ship anchored in the outer harbor about two miles from the village, where the American flag floated over the property leased by the United States and the steamer Nantasket lay, and the commissioners landed to visit the local authorities.
Un corresponsal describe la llegada de su barco a Samaná, el avistamiento de tierra en la mañana del 24, el seguimiento de la cordillera hacia el oeste desde el cabo Cabrón, y la entrada a la bahía pasando colinas, palmerales y pequeños poblados hasta Santa Bárbara de Samaná. El barco ancló en el puerto exterior, a unas dos millas del pueblo, donde la bandera americana ondeaba sobre la propiedad arrendada por los Estados Unidos y se encontraba el vapor Nantasket, y los comisionados desembarcaron para visitar a las autoridades locales.

heavily over a dark line about two points
off our starboard bow, hardly discernible
at first; but as we came nearer we
gradually traced the outline of the
mountain range which stretched westward to
the mainland from Gape Cabron at the ex
tremity of the peninsula of Samana. Behind
this mountain barrier and opening to the
east lies the bay to which we were bound.
The morning was the hottest we had yet felt.
A burning sun blistered the deck. The brass
work of the frigate glowed like fire, and the
waters glittered like burnished metal under
the blazing heavens. There was hardly a
breath f air, and as we steamed through the
calm sea the Bails hung useless from the yards.
Long before noon the whole country around
the mouth of the bay was distinctly visible
in outline. There were the hills rising ab
ruptly close to the shore, the palisade-like
rocks almost surrounding the peninsula, the
irregular and picturesque profile of the range
stretching back as far as the eye could reach.
We could disoover no table-laud; we saw no
beach; and at first there was no sign of life
except in the waters, from which a flying
