The liner was waiting for daylight. On the other side of the lead swell, Hayti lay misty and soft grey, its delicate mountain ridges sharply cutting against the brightening sky. Soon, the East was alive, shining dark orange and deeper red with a bright green, an angry colored bar wedged between the sea and a jagged cloud cover. Four bells rang forward, and after the strike we were on our way, advancing slowly past the dark, dead shores. Between us and the distant heights ran a low cliff overflowing with undergrowth. There were no villages to see, but here and there we could see through glasses a brownish spot that could have been a lonely hut, but that didn`t break the feeling of devastation. Nothing seemed alive except dawn and a clean, gentle wind that happily blew cool after the sweltering heat of the night.

Mr. PRICHARD visited Haiti in 1899 as a special correspondent for the Daily Express; And in this volume, we have described his impressions and experiences, with anecdotes and illustrations. He made a short trip to Santo Domingo, to which he devotes a chapter, but otherwise the book deals with the people, places and affairs of the part of the island governed by the Republic of Haiti. Referring to the inhabitants of the Dominican state, Mr. Prichard notes: “They are not as friendly as the Haytian peasantry, and hospitality does not flourish to the same extent as on the western side of the border. On the other hand, the government of Santo Domingo is less jealous of foreign influence.
The Dominicans speak Spanish and have retained the purity of their language to a far greater extent than can be said of the Haytians, whose French has degenerated into a Creole patois so corrupt that it is difficult for foreigners to understand. “Mohr Gordon Dwight – Gesammelte Werke – Couzens Reginald C. – Die Geschichten der Monate”.
