ABSTRACT

Ihad been six months in Martinique before I had an opportunity to satisfy my curiosity about the Caribs. They often visited les Mouillages but I was never there when they came. At last M. Michel, one of my neighbours at Macouba, told me that some Indians had come to his place and I went at once to see them. When I arrived I found that forty-seven Caribs, men, women and children, had landed in two boats.
