Both form one island, so fitted to the words of the journal as cannot be done with any other land of the Bahamas. Fourth. The course and distance from Crooked to Long Island is that which the Admiral gives from Santa Maria to Fernandina. Fifth. Long Island, the third, is accurately described. Sixth. The journal is obscure in regard to the fourth island.
A little scold you, because you stay too long to talk with the Skipper from the Bahamas, hey? No more than that, is it not?" "He'll beat me," cried little John, driven fairly past himself. "He beats me every time I'm late, or don't get my work done. I thank you ever so much for being so kind, but I can't stay another minute." "Adios, then, Señor Colorado!" said the Skipper, with a stately bow.
By the fourteenth section of the shipping act approved June 26, 1884, certain reductions and contingent exemptions from tonnage dues were made as to vessels entering ports of the United States from any foreign port in North and Central America, the West India Islands, the Bahamas and Bermudas, Mexico, and the Isthmus as far as Aspinwall and Panama.
He was now looking so calm, so earnestly sympathetic, that she almost believed that her eyes had played her a trick and that his face had not changed at her news. "I'm not normal to-day," she thought. "I am deeply grieved, deeply. Please accept from me my most full sympathy." "Thank you. I scarcely ever saw my father, but naturally this news has upset me. He died in the Bahamas." "How very sad!
These witches kept open ears in their heads, and information carelessly dropped by the outlaws they sold for an aftermath of gain to the Spaniards, who found truth in so many of the prophesies that they respected the soothsayers and fully believed that the English were the chosen of the fiend. Among the most trusted of the witches was a withered Indian woman of Nassau, the capital of the Bahamas.
From this point we had determined to cross Florida Channel to the Bahamas, about eighty miles; but the wind was ahead, and we could do nothing but work slowly to the southward, waiting for a slant. It was of course a desperate venture to cross this distance in a small open boat, which even a moderate sea would swamp. Our provisions now became a very serious question.
So, once more Harry was kept out of Pauline's councils. He was a little provoked at her this time, for her willfulness seemed almost perverse after the lesson she should have learned from the aeroplane wreck. Excitement and activity pervaded the house. Sunday and Monday every one, including Harry, soon knew that Pauline was to take Tuesday's steamer to Old Nassau, in the Bahamas.
The old gentleman was very much startled when he heard there was a lady in the case, and very emphatically observed, that a man had better be sucked into the gulf of Florida than once get into the indraught of a woman; because, in one case, he may with good pilotage bring out his vessel safe between the Bahamas and the Indian shore; but in the other there is no outlet at all, and it is in vain to strive against the current; so that of course he must be embayed, and run chuck upon a lee-shore.
In the wake of the vessel were most beautiful changing colors. Little Nelly S. sat with us to watch the phosphorescence. She said, "The stars in the sea call to me, with little fine voices, 'Nelly, Nelly, are you alive?" We have had our first sight of land, Mariguana, a coral island, one of the Bahamas. Every one stood in silence to see it, it was so beautiful.
You don't know what the land birds might be able to tell you." From Cay Verde in the Bahamas to the desert of New Mexico, by the Museum trail, is around a corner and past two windows that look out upon the west. As the children stood waiting for the Road-Runner to notice them, they found the view not very different from the one they had just left.
