...largest of the British-owned Windward Islands in the Caribbean. Old La Soufrière, 4,000 feet high, once an active volcano, now rich in sulfur and hot springs and not to be confused with nearby St. Vincent's La Soufrière, was shrouded in heavy mist. At a time when the island's June-to-October rainy season was past, St. Lucia was drenched, soaked, deluged...

Down their in the flat valley, the river could forget this roaring nightmare and become a lazy serpent of varied greens; light greens where the bright sands lay near the surface, shading off perfectly into mysterious black-greens where the deep pools were...
