Statia

[ stey-shuh ]

Phonetic (Standard)IPA

noun

Fortunately, on Saba and the neighboring island Saint Eustatius, or “Statia,” the terrain is tough but not impossible to scale.

The enmity of the British for Holland, and especially against Statia, was no secret.

A little dog came out and barked at us—a sensible-looking cat rested on the porch—and in the door-way stood Cousin Statia.

Cousin Statia had been looking towards the door, when she suddenly inquired: "Did you ever tell her about the bullet hole?"

Since then, the selling on the beach of Statia has been confined to a little sugar and a few yams.

If Statia is set on keeping the wonderful secret, how can you expect me to divulge it?
