HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE MOSQUITO SHORE. The general physical characteristics, and the climate and productions of the Mosquito Shore, have probably been sufficiently indicated in the foregoing rapid narrative. Nevertheless, to supply any deficiencies which may exist in these respects, as well as to illustrate the history of this coast, to which recent political events have given some degree of interest, I have here brought together a variety of facts derived from original sources, or such as are not easily accessible to the general reader. The designation " Mosquito Shore" can only properly be understood in a geographical sense, as applying to that portion of the eastern coast of Central America lying between Cape Gracias a Dios and Bluefields Lagoon, or between the twelfth and fifteenth degrees of north latitude, a distance 01 about two hundred miles. The attempts which have been made to apply this name to a greater extent of shore, have had their origin in strictly political considerations. This coast was discovered by Columbus, in his fourth voyage, in 1502. He sailed along its entire length, stopping at various points, to investigate the country, and ascertain the character of its inhabitants. He gave it the name Cariay, and it was accurately characterized by one of his companions, Porras, as " una tierra muy baja," a very low land. Columbus himself, in his letter to the Spanish sovereigns, describes the inhabitants as fishers, and " as great sorcerers, very terrible." His son, Fernando Columbus, is more explicit. He says, they were " almost negroes in color, bestial, going naked; in all respects very rude, eating human flesh, and devouring their fish raw, as they happened to catch them." The language of the chroniclers...

Excerpt from book: gaudy red scarf, wound round the head in the form of a peaked turban; and two fat arms, rolling down like elephants' trunks against a white robe for a background, which concealed a bust that passeth description. That portrait? long may it wave as the man said, at the Kossuth dinner, when he toasted The day we celebrate MY LA NDL ATT. My landlady was satisfied, and generous withal, for she not only paid me the ten pounds, and gave me my two weeks board and lodging in the bargain, but introduced me to a colored gentleman, a friend of hers, who sailed a little schooner twice a year to the Mosquito Shore, on the coast of Central America, where he traded off refuse rum and gaudy cottons for turtle-shells and sarsaparilla. There was a steamer from Kingston, once a month, to Cartha- gena, Chagres, San Juan, Belize, and along chapter{Section 4The prince Albert. 28 shore; but, for obvious reasons, I could not go in a steamer. So I struck up a bargain with the fragrant skipper, by the terms of which he bound himself to land me, bag and baggage, at Bluefields, the seat of Mosquito royalty, for the sum of three pounds, currency. Why Captain Ponto (for so I shall call my landlady's friend, the colored skipper) named his little schooner the Prince Albert, I can not imagine, unless he thought thereby to do honor to the Queen- Consort; for the aforesaid schooner had Jtidently got old, and been condemned, long before that lucky Dutchman woke the echoes of Gotha with his baby cries. The Prince Albert was of about seventy tons burden, built something on the model of the Jung-frau, the first vessel of the Netherlands that rolled itself into New York bay, like some unwieldy porpoise, after a rapid passage of about six months from the Hague. The wise men of th...
