HERE are monkeys in Grenada; many a poor 
cultivator knows this to his cost. There are 
troops of monkeys, who thread the mazes of the moun- 
tain forest, living in the trees, scarce ever descending 
to earth. To get them, one must go to the moun- 
tains, must penetrate the great interior forests, and 
hunt patiently the dark woods encircling the moun- 
tain lake, the lake in the crater. He must camp by 
the lake in the crater to get the “crayters” by the 
lake.
