Iloilo

Next to Manila, Iloilo is the most important port in the Islands, and has a better climate than its rival.

I took him to Iloilo and left him with the nurses; he lived only a day.

We are twenty-four hours from Iloilo by steamer, and forty-eight from Manila, and are without a launch at this port.

It was at Iloilo that we took a local excursion steamer across to the pueblo of Salai, in Negros.
