A STIRRING AND IMPRESSIVE STORY.
THE GOLDEN BELT; OR, THE CARIB’S PLEDGE.
BY COLIN BARKER.
The scene is laid in the tropics, just after the discovery of this country by Columbus, when the old Castilian line of Spaniards first stepped upon these shores. The hero is a gallant Spanish Cavalier, who received a belt of virgin gold from the hands of a Carib Chief, as a pledge that he should guard his life. Our hero woos an Indian maiden, and after many thrilling adventures leads her to the altar—being the first maiden of the princely Carib line who wed a Spanish subject.
