Life of the Happy-go-lucky West
Indian Negroes.
LAZY JOY FOR LITTLE WORK.
Six Months' Labor Enables Them to
Loll In Indolence For a Year and a
Half~~Combing the Islands For Men
For the Sugar Plantations,
" A happy-go-lucky, stand up and fall
down, geninl, inconsequential spirit an
fmates the West Indinn negroes in
thelr labors and in their begging,
From the swenting tollers on the dock
at Macoris loading sugnr into the
rteamers, with their warning cry,
“Ree-low!" to the men in the hold, to
the grinning boys hauling their tishing
boats up on the beach at Dominica,
they live from day to day and take no
thought of the morrow, A West Indian
negro with SSO will live for a year and
never do a &roke of work,
And why not? His living costs him
only 9 cents n day. He has his little
cabin for the occeupaney., A amngo
tree grows in his yard, and he can
pick plantaing by the road at will, If
he ig too lazy to bake 5 cents will buy
bread for the family for the day, and
a few cents more will huy a dozen
small fish and one large one. A single
garment does for the women, &l ¥4
will c¢lothe the man for a year, whue
the pickaninnies run as God made
them,
The West Indies are the paradise of
the happy loafer. Every year the is
lands are combed from end to end for
hands to work the great sugar planta.
tions in Santo Domingo. and at that
the negroes must often be practically
kidnaped to get them on the hoats.
In Novembher of each year the sugar
boats, little sloops and schooners that
spend the remainder of the year trad
ing among the islands get into the
Santo Domingo negro trade. Their
captains and supercargoes, when they
have them. and the owners go up-and
down the islands telling ghe négroes
that on a certain day the vessel will
sail for Santo Domingo and take all
l who want to go to work on the sugar
plantations.
Take the little island of St. Martin's
for illustration. For a week the island
is combed. and on the appointed day a
dozen sloops and schooners are crowd
ed into Marigot bay. The night hefore
the negroes have bhegun to stream into
the littie town that sleeps through the
vear, waiting for this one day to bring
it to life. Boards are laid across bosxes,
and rum and whisky are set out to
arouse the negroes to the piteh that
will ecarry them out to the vessels
bound for the plantations,
All day the men stream into the
town, traveling barefooted along the
sandy roads, swept in by the sailors,
singing their song of riches to be had
for the asking. Ahead of the men walk
their women, toting heavy boxes on
their heads. while the men are dressed
in their best, with a cocky straw hat
perched an one ear. swinging a dandy
cane and carrying their shoes in their
hands. At the outskirts of the town
they put on their shoes and swing
gayly up to the open air bars on the
beach.
The women lug the big boxes down
to the. heach and wail at being left
alone until they. too. become filled
with the excitement of the scene and
urge their men folks on. The men
hang haek and laugh and drink and
deny that they are going.
“Is you goin’, Big Tawm?%"”
“Naw. Ah ain’ goin’. Ah jus' comne
tub see.”
“Yas, vo' is goin’, Big Tawm. Git in
dat boat.”
= “(Come on h2ah, boy. Ya. ha!”
And all the time the rowboats, load
ed to the gunwales, are plying back
and forth between the shore and the
sloops. By sundown the beach is swept
clean and six little sloops and a schoon
er make sail and drift out of the har
bor on a dying breeze, loaded down
with a thousand black men and wo
men, who will wake in the morning
with a raging thirst. T'hen woe be to
the captain wio has.not filled his wa
ter casks. for there is sure to be at
least one body to be given to the sharks
after the tight around the butts!:
When the vessels drop anchor off
Macoris the plantation foremen comne
off and look over the cargoes and pay
the shipmasters $2.50 each for passage
‘money for the uegroes. 'l'hen the
blacks are herded ashore and are cred
jted with 30 cents a day for a month
for working from sunrise to sunset in
the cane fields. By that time the $2.50
passage money is paid back. Then
they receive their 30 cents a day in
cash for the next six months until
the cutting and grinding season is
over, when the sloops show up again
and take them to their homes for $2.50
each, paid in advance.
The foremen collect from the planta
tion owners G 3 cents a day each for
pay for the black hands. but with their
share of the.money the negroes can
live for n year and a half before they
have tc, think of doing another day’s
work. And they do it. Year after
year the trade is plied, and the islands
‘are combed for men for the planta
tions, and yelr‘a’ifter yvear the negroes
return home to eighteen months of lazy
