We know nothing positive of the mountains of the Azores; but it is certain, that the island of Bourbon as well as Teneriffe, exhibits only a heap of lavas and basalts. No volcanic rock rears its head, either on the Gros Morne, or on the volcano of Bourbon, or on the colossal pyramid of Cimandef, which is perhaps more elevated than the Peak of the Canary Islands. Bory St.
The manner of doing this was told by Tupua, who heads the procession in the picture, to Monsieur Morne, Lieutenant de Vaisseau, who also took the photograph of it, about two years ago, at Uturoa, Raiatea, which, being on bad paper, was copied off by Mr. Barnfield, of Honolulu.
"It was not far from where we are now," the Tenor continued, "that I first heard the chime oh, ever so many years ago!" and he brushed his hand back over his hair. "You were a boy then?" "Yes, a lad like you perhaps younger: I had been working in a colliery. The work was too hard for me, and I was coming up the Morne on a barge, to try and get something lighter to do in one of the towns.
As they drove back to Morne, Lady Claudia scolded Lady Fulda for so weakly allowing Angelica to have her own way in everything. "I thought you would agree with me that the sweet womanly influence at the palace would do her good," Lady Fulda answered, in an injured tone. "'Sweet womanly' nonsense!" said Lady Claude.
When it was landed at the barriere, the custom-house officers opened it, and, finding it to contain a black-looking body, decided that this was a man who had been baked in an oven. They took the linen bandages for his burnt shirt, and, after drawing up a proces-verbal in due form, sent the mummy to the Morne, where dead bodies are exposed in order to be owned.
He probably recovered his senses in time. The Spaniards chased the Caribs out of several of the islands. That of Grenada terminates on the north in a tall cliff called Le Morne des Sauteurs, over which the white men compelled the flying Indians to leap to their death. Not one Carib was left alive on this island. Secret Enemies in the Hills
Some of the inferior officers, knowing the importance of the Morne Tortueson, resolved to defend that post with a body of the militia, which was reinforced by the garrisons of Fort-Negro and Casdenavires, as well as by some soldiers detached from the Florissant: but, notwithstanding all their endeavours, as they were entirely unprovided with cannon, extremely defective in point of discipline, dispirited by the pusillanimity of their governor, and in a great measure disconcerted by the general consternation that prevailed among the inhabitants, in all probability they could not have withstood a spirited and well-conducted attack by regular forces.
"Are we to go to Morne?" cried Angelica. "For a visit to stay?" said Diavolo. "If you behave yourselves," their mother answered. "Oh, in that case!" said Diavolo, shrugging his shoulders as at an impossibility. "It would never do for us to be good there," said Angelica. "Grandpapa would be so dreadfully disappointed if we were." "Quite so," said Diavolo.
He declared that the attack on Le Zephyr was a mere accident: that his company had entered the morne, led by the bloodhounds in pursuit of some negroes, from whom they wanted certain information for Rochambeau, respecting the localities; that they had thus become acquainted with the almost impracticable pass by which they had entered; that, when the hounds had destroyed the children, and proved that there were inhabitants in the morne, the situation of Le Zephyr had been discovered, and afterwards the rank of its inhabitants; that the temptation of carrying off these hostages to Rochambeau had been too strong to be resisted; and hence the attack.
I listened and listened they became more and more tender and remote, and, as they gradually died away, my head sank upon the pillow and I fell asleep. Christmas Day Dark and dull night, flie hence away, And give the honour to this day That Sees December turn'd to May. . . . . . . . .
