The stories cover the early settlement and plantation life at a time when Barbados was the wealthiest colony in the new world and the largest exporter of rum and sugar. It was a time when British men of power and influence became enormously wealthy on the backs of sugar and slavery and were not above wanting more and killing for it.
The sad saga of Colonel Benjamin Berringer, owner of the plantation now called St. Nicolas Abbey is just one feature of the magazine. Berringer it seems was murdered by his partner Yeamans, who coveted not only the great plantation but also his wife. The saga is retold as a death by duel, which is true to its time.
