{132} It may be a true vine, Vitis Caribaea, or Cissus Sicyoides (I owe the names of these water-vines, as I do numberless facts and courtesies, to my friend Mr. Prestoe, of the Botanic Gardens, Port of Spain); or, again, a Cinchonaceous plant, allied to the Quinine trees, Uncaria, Guianensis; or possibly something else; for the botanic treasures of these forests are yet unexhausted, in spite of the labours of Krueger, Lockhart, Purdie, and De Schach.

{175} This man, who was a friend of Daaga's, owed his life to a solitary act of humanity on the part of the chief of this wild tragedy. A musket was levelled at him, when Daaga pushed it aside, and said, 'Not this man.'

{176a} People will smile at the simplicity of those savages; but it should be recollected that civilised convicts were lately in the constant habit of attempting to escape from New South Wales in order to walk to China.

{176b} I had this anecdote from one of his countrymen, an old Paupau soldier, who said he did not join the mutiny.

{179} One of his countrymen explained to me what Daaga said on this occasion -- viz., 'The curse of Holloloo on white men. Do they think that Daaga fears to fix his eyeballs on death?'

From Trinidad, its Geography, etc. by L. A. De Verteuil, M.D.P., a very able and interesting book. I regret much that its accomplished author resists the solicitations of his friends, and declines to bring out a fresh edition of one of the most complete monographs of a colony which I have yet seen.
