Martinique and Dominica are both very mountainous.

Their highest peaks are constantly covered with clouds, which in their varied siftings, now wheeling around, then rising or falling, give the hills the appearance of smoking volcanoes.

It was not until the eighth day of the voyage, that we landed at Barbadoes.

The passage from Barbadoes to Antigua seldom occupies more than three days, the wind being mostly in that direction.
In approaching Barbadoes, it presented an entirely difference appearance from that of the islands we had passed on the way.

It is low and level, almost wholly destitute of trees.
