tales his master told" There isn't q

OF this Island better told than | can

that Daniel DefOe, or whoever WrUte

with gIeHt attention, or had the Island
reated Ia suit the picture he gave OF

The little harbOr Is there, with ITS
rocks and eOves, just rs it was when
Robinson went ashore; the cave il in
good order still, aud tile cliifs uD
which he and Friday used Ia chase
the mountain goats. The goats are
there, aud the HruIadillus, the birds
of wonderful plumage, aud the craW-
fish among the rocks. Every boy I'm
the United states who has read the
story recently could go over the place
without a guide aud could find every
thing except Robinson himself and
the faithful Friday. The Island be-

charge OF a FrenchmAn named Crave,
and besides the stock they raise a
quantity Of poultry aud ship chickens

on the Island is said TO be Of an excel
