SummaryResumen

Writing from Santiago de los Caballeros on March 4, the correspondent describes his eight-day journey across St. Domingo from Samana, three days of it in a canoe slowly ascending the Yuna River from Santa Barbara to Almacen. On the way the party spent a night in hammocks at Bebedero and joined a marriage feast at a house near Santa Capuza, with music, dancing, tiny cups of coffee and revolver shots fired in honour of the event, before entering the small mouth of the Yuna at midday.

household Immensely. It was midday

01 the Yuna, tne river en which the Samana Bay

Company expect to put a steamer one of these

two feet and a hair. The shores at the entrance,

covered with vegetation, are exceedingly low, not

more than a few inches above the water, disappearing

altogether when the river Is lull. Here the festive

alligator may be found and the mud he loves, for

his pallet is spread over endless acres. A few hundred
