They uniformly stopped as they came opposite to us, to pay the usual civilities.

This the men did by touching their hats and bowing, and the women, by making a low courtesy, and adding, sometimes, "howdy, massa," or "mornin', massa." We passed several loaded wagons, drawn by three, four, or five yoke of oxen, and in every instance the driver, so far from manifesting any disposition "insolently" to crowd us off the road, or to contend for his part of it, turned his team aside, leaving us double room to go by, and sometimes stopping until we had passed.
We were kindly received at Millar's by Mr.Bourne, the manager.

Millar's is one of the first estates in Antigua.

The last year it made the largest sugar crop on the island.

Mr.B.took us before breakfast to view the estate.
