The Bahamas are among the gems of the West Indies, with safe anchorages for yachtsmen and firm beaches of coral sand for swimmers. But behind the welcoming tourist façade lie traces of a more primitive world, where Negroes still live in huts like those of their African ancestors, and voodoo is a living force.
The little aircraft will glide smoothly away from Nassau towards the cloudless horizon. Below you will be the sea, a mixture of incredible colours – green, blue, yellow, purple. You will fly over the waters of the Great Bahama Bank.
You’re going to see an unknown world at your doorstep.
A tiny island will appear ahead, and the plan will prepare to come down on the glassy sea.
It’s an astonishing world, with immense stretches of wilderness that few outsiders have penetrated. It has white men with strange speech and customs, and black men living in thatched huts like those in the Congo.
Your little plan will land on the water and taxi towards the shore. The pilot will let down a pair of wheels and the plane will lurch up the bank. You will disembark and walk down a narrow, stone-flagged lane between two rows of neat, tight-packed cottages. Barefoot fishermen will amble along, laden with their net; women may be filling buckets at public taps. At a little dock a sailing ship may sway gently with the tide.
This is Green Turtle Cay. Here, these people were originally Loyalists who came here from the United States at the time of the Revolution. They’ve been cut off from the world ever since. You will probably see what an American fishing village was like 150 years ago.
As you will speak to the lanky islander, you will listen to the language in amazement. The speech will be a weird mixture of cockney and of southern-states American mountaineer. And you will soon learn the reason. Many of these villagers had come from the Carolinas, and their accents had become intermingled with the languages of the cockney crews of the sailing ships that came over from Britain. They had other similarities to the southern mountaineers: kindliness coupled with clannishness, deep devotion to religion.
Stopped at the beach where you find fishermen weaving a long turtle net. Beside them you might find a tall, bony individual with rifle and sorry-looking hounds, who might have stepped out of a mountain cabin.
Those are boar dogs. May be he is going for a hunt.
