Few sails are on the quiet waters
of the tropic sea, though sailing

But what holds most strongly the
hungry eye of Edwin Anstruther is
the foreground of this wondrous pic
ture.
Running into the gentle waves about
half a mile from him Is a cliff, topped
by fairy green of foliage; upon it
stands ruined turret. Its time-stained
stones indicate it had been a watch
tower of the Genoese in olden days
and that from its top centuries ago

pirates were ravaging these shores.
The mass of ruined masonry rising
above the foliage has been now appar-

the sheen of glass in some of the little
loop-holed windows. Beside it on the
same cliff some so yards away is a

AS he gallops from the little hamlet

urges on his steed.
And what a ride it is, under the
great trees of La Castagniccia, where
chestnuts big as eggs drop upon him,
the giant chestnuts that fed Paoli's

So he rides along the parklike wales

the green of the great Bavella forest

springs off and picks up a cylameu

at the flowers suddenly calculates:
