Text Appearing Before Image:
to Bay. At any part it is well travelled, but on the lower end
of the road, especially on Tuesdays and Saturdays,
which are market days, the passing peasantry become
a multitude, a tide that flows in the morning and ebbs
again at evening.
The women are numerically much better repre-
sented in this throng than the men. Women are the
workers among the blacks in the neighborhood of
Kingston. They carry the coal on the wharves, load
and unload vessels, drive donkeys and mules with
produce, break stone on the road, carry stone and
other building material for house builders, wash, bake,
dig in the fields, and, in fine, perform four-
fifths of the
labor that one sees done. If the men work they keep
the evidences out of sight with most unaccountable
modesty. These women are generally strongly built,
short and energetic. One or two garments, well girded
up, suffice them for decency. Their tread is a firm
long glide, with a great deal of motion as far up as the
hips, a side to side swing below the waist and above
