Text Appearing Before Image:
he mostconspicuous structure is the French bakery, a large white-washed edifice, with a steam-engine and chimney. Theharbour is formed by a beautiful bay, protected from theswell of the Pacific by a coral-reef, in which two narrow buteasy openings afford admission to vessels. Near the middleof the reef is a small wooded island, fortified by the French,and further protected by a battery on shore.
