Text Appearing Before Image:
For instance, we were im-
portuned by the White Rose and also by many royal person-
ages. A police officer stands at the head of the gangway, exercising
autocratic control over the clamoring boatmen, adjudicating
their quarrels and summoning boats desired by the passengers
who go ashore. There is a regular tariff, but there are also fre-
quent attempts to overcharge the customers on one pretense
or another. After nightfall, however, a higher rate is legal.
All of the freight is handled by heavy scows or lighters, most
of them made of mahogany, which are propelled by negroes who
stand on the gunwale and handle enormous oars or sweeps. The
stevedores are also black men, often of superb muscular devel-
opment and most independent bearing. They appear to work
better here than at the other ports, but are also harder to con-
trol. The amount of freight handled is probably greater than
at any other British port in the West Indies and it comes ap-
parently from all over the world: from South and North
