The great breakers that swept in along the coast of Trinidad, Tobago and Granada were missing.

In the tranquil bays and inlets, they pursued their occupation of bringing up the natural treasures of the deep with more profit and less risk.

They would anchor the Cayosa as near shore as possible, in some well sheltered bay.

Here soundings wouid be taken, and the vicinity thoroughly inspected.

When the bay gave promise of shells and coral, a camp was made on the silver-like beach under the shade of the towering cocoanut trees.
