Presently two or three Europeans, bringing large casks with ten or Gfteen hogsheads are collected, and tbe wo men and tbe young people are detailed to gather the oranges on tbe morrow. These casks are taken perhaps two or three miles up tbe valley, until the must unfrequented spot is reached, where they are filled with the juice of tbe oranges, holes are dug, and the casks aro buried for two days, by which time tbe liquor is fermented and ready for ue. On tbe third day tbe young people of the neighboring districts, an assembly from eighty to one hundred males and female, proceed to tbe scenes of tbe revel. It is mid-day; in a shady spot, where the tropi cal undergrowth has been cleared; all are soated In a ring. Here is a girl hardly tbir teen years old, by her side a boary beaded tinner of forty; next Is a native man of per haps twenty; at bis right is a half caste girl. forming another portion of this circle is an Americnn formerly a sailor on board a whale ship; bis daughter, too, if 1 mistake not, mixes in this assembly, and tbe natives clos ing the ring, are mixed with tbe refuse of civilization.

At times tbe scene is diversified by a fight for tbe possession of one of the fair daugh ters of the Isle. Nigbt closes on a sight far too horrid to describe, far too disgusting to write upon.
