There'll be no drinking on this island if I can help it. I understand some of you men are planning to put the pulp of the algarobo through a process of fermentation and make chica by the barrel. Well, if I have anything to say about it, you'll do nothing of the sort. I know that stuff. It's got more murder in it than anything I've ever tackled.
I knew it was the honey-locust, or thorny acacia, the carob-tree of the East, and the famed `algarobo' of the Spaniards. The moment his eyes rested upon the long brown legumes, he cried out, with gestures of delight: "`Massa Massa Roff, lookee yonder! beans and honey for supper! "We were soon under the branches: and while I proceeded to knock down and collect a quantity of the ripe fruit.
The colours used by the Maypures are the oxides of iron and manganese, and particularly the yellow and red ochres that are found in the hollows of sandstone. Sometimes the fecula of the Bignonia chica is employed, after the pottery has been exposed to a feeble fire. This painting is covered with a varnish of algarobo, which is the transparent resin of the Hymenaea courbaril.
Here also is the algarobo, or locust-tree of the New World; bearing pods filled with beans surrounded by a sweet farinaceous substance, of a highly nutritious quality. Indeed, Venezuela is behind no other region of the world in the variety and quality of its natural productions.
