“Much later, when the British, French, Spanish and Dutch were squabbling mightily over the islands and blowing each others’ heads off with cannonballs the weight and consistency of my Aunt Mabel’s Christmas pudding, the Caribs in their almost unsinkable canoes very nearly overcame the might of the European navies pitted against them. Brave and skillful seamen, they easily outstripped the lumbering naval ships, pulling off incredible feats of daring into the bargain” (304).

“Mosquito Cove with its 500-foot-wide opening is surely Jamaica’s finest gunkhole. Keep to midchannel and proceed straight in for excellent protection” (597).
