ABSTRACT
Belize is not very difficult to reach from England, and nowadays there are many routes. The most obvious and cheapest is still the old sea-rovers’ way by boat from Bristol Westward Ho! across the Atlantic, touching at the Azores, then over to Turk’s Island in the Caicos, through the straits between Tortuga and Santiago de Cuba into the Caribbean Sea and so past the ruins of Port Royal into the splendid harbour of Kingston, Jamaica. British Honduras is rather like Palestine in size, and shape, and contour—except, of course, that it faces east instead of west towards the sea. A labour force drawn from so small a population is obviously entirely inadequate for anything like the overall development of a country the size of Palestine or Wales, but whether it is inadequate in morale as well as in numbers is a matter of opinion.
