Best alternative was to use the harbor at sleepy St. George, where the piers are owned by the St. George Corporation. Hitch there was that there was only one hotel, the St. George, which is so regularly patronized that it never needs to advertise.

At the end of the day 52 people had been killed, some 70 more badly injured-but not in fighting. The front engine of a five-car, two-engine train on the Jamaica Central Railway, packed with Kingston citizens going to the country for the Liberation Day weekend, left the rails going up a steep grade outside Balaclava. The rear engine kept going, pushed the front engine over an embankment, piled four...
