Port-of-Spain to Grenada 
At 5 P. M. yesterday I went aboard the Carib 
Prince in company with a Mr. Fortune (from Memphis) who 
is to be one of my fello?; passengers to New York. The 
steamer proves to be small and not prepossessing. She is 
very deeply loaded with asphalt, sug8.r, cacao, etc. We 
expected to sail at 7 P. M. but lay at anchor all night 
taking in more freight, the donkey engines making such a 
racket that no one got much sleep. 
When I looked out through my port-hole at sunrise 
this morning, we were passing through one of the smaller 
Bocas and soon after¥/ards Virere out in the open sea where 
a trifling cross swell caused our little ship to roll 
heavily. Most of the day v^ras consumed in crossing to 
Grenada which we reached at about 4 P. M., anchoring for 
an hour or so just outside the harbor and then resuining 
our voyage. 
When about midway between the two islands we saw 
hundreds of birds chiefly Booby Gannets with a few 
Gannets of large size and nearly 8,11 white, some Audubon’s 
Shear¥\raters, a very few Frigate Birds and twro or three 
Yfilson's Petrels, the last following in the wake of the 
ship for an hour or more.
