that the land has been considerably

Of these caves has been converted into
a human habitation, where a family of
several persons dwell IN absolute. Sc

is said to AFFORD but a precarious live

fish can only, be done at low water and
as the fishers have no boat or other
occupation, they have ample leisure to
enjoy the pure air and bask in the sun
shine.
Except for the drip from the face of
the high rocks above, which is skill
fully diverted. the cave is absolutely
dry. The interior is shaped like a tri-
angle, the floor forming the base. Save
at the sides there Is ample room to
stand upright and move about inside.
Besides the beds and cooking utensils.
the cave contains many articles Of va
