Whan Buccaneers Reigned.
The importance of t Lie island of St.
Thomas arises from the faet that the
harbor on the south side of the island,
on whose borders the town of Char
lotte Amalle is located, is oue of the
finest in all tropical America. From
the days of the buccaneers its strate
gic advantage has been realized, for '
when the Spanish main was the happy 1
hunting ground of the gentlemen of
the black flag this harbor was their
headquarters. Behind its outer hills ,
the pirate craft found shelter from the
open sea and were screened from the
sight of passing ships until the mo
ment came to pounce upon them. In
more recent times it lias played the
role of the safe harbor for the thou
sands of vessels bound from Europe to
Panama and surrounding territory, or
[vice versa. With a free port, where
repairs, ships' stores and coal might he
ihad, upon which there had been no
levy of tariff duties, the shipping world
found the harbor of Charlotte Amalie
an attractive way station on most of
j|s Caribbean routes.—.National Geo- ,
