 and the sun rising brought us a clear day, 

 — cool and without musquitoes, forming a 

 great contrast to the miserable night we 

 had passed. At four o'clock in the even- 

 ing we arrived at the village of Pablo, where 

 I immediately commenced purchasing stock 

 enough to last us four days, as there is no 

 other market until reaching Saint Bartho- 

 lomew. Found every thing double the price 

 it bore at Morales, and was informed that 

 as w^e proceeded we should find provisions 

 increase in cost. San Pablo is like other 

 villages, only a little cleaner, the soil being 

 very gravelly, and the inhabitants spreading 

 a little of the gravel round the cottages ; but 

 inside they are no better than those of the 

 other villages.
