You have heard how, in 1853, Jeremy Shafto went to Jamaica in search of his friend, Andre, and he has told of all the strange things that happened in the fantastic Cockpit Country-the Land of Look Behind. In that almost unexplored wilderness of limestone crags and gullies, Mr. Calamanco had set himself up as a sort of king over the Maroons; but now, at last, Mandy Lou and Jeremy have discovered the secret of his power. It was not the handful of armed desperadoes that he called his ' glorious army. No, his so-called subjects were held in check by fear of the sinister old Obeah-Woman, who, by pretending to be a sorceress, had imposed her will on those credulous people.
