THE TOWN AND COLONY 331 a regularly laid-out town. Lying upon a marshy piece ofground, most of the streets are intersected by canals, crossedby means of bridges. It was founded by the Dutch, to whomthis peculiarity is owing. Many of the houses are finely built,and most of the private dwellings are surrounded by finegardens. The merchants who occupy the water-side have introducedhere all the labor-saving improvements for which Englishmenare noted. Little railways run from nearly every warehouse,down the long piers to the vessels, to facilitate the movementof the huge hogsheads of sugar, rum, and molasses, which formthe staple exports of the colony. These, with enormous cranesfor hoisting and lowering, ease greatly the labors of the seamenin getting on board the cargoes. There is also a line of railwayrunning into the heart of the sugar country, some one hundredand twenty-five miles, on which is transported that part of theproduce which does not find its way down the river in lighters.
