SummaryResumen

The commissioners made an excursion to the plantation of Mrs. Dichmain, about two miles from Samana, where they drank fresh coconut milk and saw a primitive sugar mill turned by two bulls, with the juice boiled nearby into coarse brown sugar. Mrs. Dichmain, who has lived 42 years in Santo Domingo and has 15 children and 50 grandchildren, farms 100 acres producing bananas, pineapples, sugar, coffee and chocolate, and she told the visitors she was most decidedly in favor of annexation, longing intensely for quiet and order.

Los comisionados hicieron una excursión a la plantación de la señora Dichmain, a unas dos millas de Samaná, donde bebieron leche fresca de coco y vieron un primitivo molino de azúcar movido por dos bueyes, con el jugo hervido cerca de allí hasta convertirlo en azúcar moreno grueso. La señora Dichmain, que lleva 42 años viviendo en Santo Domingo y tiene 15 hijos y 50 nietos, cultiva 100 acres que producen plátanos, piñas, azúcar, café y chocolate, y dijo a los visitantes que estaba decididamente a favor de la anexión, pues anhelaba intensamente la tranquilidad y el orden.

Among the last exenrsions the Commisioners made

was to the plantation of Mrs, Dichmain, about two

miles from Samana. It was a bright, lovely day,

with a mild sea-breeze tempering the hot sun, warm,

but infinitely more aareeable and exhilarating than

the close, sultry, Summer days at Long Braneh, or

other sea-side resorts, The enrved shore of the little

bay where we landed was fring with cocoa-palms,

laden with the tempting-looking ripe fruit. It was

but the work of a moment for a native to eltimb a

green nuts, The pera took his machete—a long

inland from the sea. A doleful squeaking noise

three wooden rollors in a frame surmounted by a
