"Sagacity" refers to the ability of a person to make sound judgement. It is similar to wisdom. In this case, it refers to the self-reliance of Yorkshire men.

"To bestow" is to present something as a gift. It is often used as a synonym of "to confer" (an honor, an award). The word here refers to reluctance of Yorkshire men to offer assistance to others.

Why do Americans love equality? Should we? Can the desire for it ever be satisfied?
Setler79 [48]

Answer: This is a guess, but possibly to match the scenery/imagery of the scene

Explanation: since the author is pointing out many tropical details, such as coconut white, mango yellow, or children jumping into waves, the author is driving more interest into there piece by saying cactus fence instead of just fence. Again, just a guess.
