the stone gives TO this peculiar aspect net out OF

overlooking the bay, and from which an excellent
view Of the surrounding country may be obtained.

Standing ss it does, upon Of the highest points IN
the Cemetery, this monument is a very conspicuous
object and for eonsde able distance is in full view
of vessels as they move up and down the bay. The
monument may be considered resulting from COM
