Over the cobblestoned streets came rough carts drawn by four mules of the smallest race of mules in the world and these carts clattered down noisily with their loads of coffee-sacks, the drivers shouting as only a Haitian negro can shout.
Through this at five each morning a rusty engine pulled a train of flat cars to the base of the mountains, and, if meanwhile the rails had not disappeared into the swamp, at five in the evening brought back the flat cars laden with odorous coffee-sacks. In the daily life of Porto Banos, waiting for the return of the train, and betting if it would return, was the chief interest.
Its coffee crop, alone, could bring in ample wealth. To Stuart's eyes, coffee was everywhere. The carts were loaded with coffee, the sacks the negroes carried were coffee-sacks, the shining green berries were exposed to dry on stretches of sailcloth in vacant lots, among the ruins on the sides of the streets.
