Synopsis
Excerpt from Tangweera: Life and Adventures Among Gentle Savages
The country known as the Mosquito Coast lies on the western Shores of the Caribbean Sea, between 11° and 15° north latitude. Almost the whole Of it is level alluvial land, fiat near the sea, but rising gradually, and becoming more and more hilly inland, with ranges of mountains at the back from 100 to 150 miles from the coast, which ranges come down to the sea at Monkey Point, near Greytown, and at the extreme north near Black River. The coast lies, as sailors say, in the eye of the north-east trade winds - that is, in the latitudes where the trades are most constant. In the rainy season the back ranges receive the excessive rain, which flows down in innumerable rivers to the coast.
