Animal life, too, is rich and varied m this lovely, yet melancholy, land, and the wide ocean around reflects the burning rays of the tropical sun. I see two human figures, both m look and garb presenting a strange appearance to our American eyes, and we may well look with compassion upon the miserable fugitive as he implores the pro tection of one who, though himself m a helpless and desolate plight, is yet able to afford the succor that the other seeks.
