At last the coaling and the cursing were over; and we steamed out again to sea.
I have antedated this little episode--delightful for more reasons than I set down here--because I do not wish to trouble my readers with two descriptions of the same island--and those mere passing glimpses.
There are two craters, I should say, in Grenada, beside the harbour.

One, the Grand Etang, lies high in the central group of mountains, which rise to 3700 feet, and is itself about 1740 feet above the sea.

Dr.Davy describes it as a lake of great beauty, surrounded by bamboos and tree-ferns.

The other crater-lake lies on the north- east coast, and nearer to the sea-level: and I more than suspect that more would be recognised, up and down the island, by the eye of a practised geologist.
The southern end of Grenada--of whatsoever rock it may be composed-- shows evidence of the same wave-destruction as do the Grenadines.

Arches and stacks, and low horizontal strata laid bare along the cliff, in some places white with guano, prove that the sea has been at work for ages, which must be many and long, considering that the surf, on that leeward side of the island, is little or none the whole year round.
