Language: English . Brand New Book ***** Print on Demand *****.Excerpt from Captain Clutterbuck s Champagne, 1862: A West Indian Reminiscence, Originally Published in Blackwood s Magazine There is, or was some quarter of a century ago, in the Port Royal Mountains of Jamaica, a military station called Stony Hill, about 1300 feet above the sea. It had been established at this altitude in the hope of procuring increased comfort and health for the troops. It was certainly cooler than the plain, and therefore answered its intent in respect of climate; but experience had shown that it was far from being beyond the range of that scourge, the yellow fever. However, it was quite in the country, though within a moderate drive of the city of Kingston, and thus it afforded an agreeable change to one who had been quartered on a lower level. We glance back over the quarter century of which mention has been made above, and introduce the reader to a room in the officers quarters.
