ROCK OF GIBRALTAR
Great Britain Has So Strongly F.orti-

sidered lmpregnable.

Since the day, more than 200 years
ago. when the flag of Great Britain was
flung out over Gibraltar. the strong,
est fortress In the world, that country
has won many triumphs in commerce
and has become mistress Of the seas.
The rock Of Gibraltar is / ,400 feet
high and across the narrow bay may
be seen the coast Of Africa only nine
miles away. The rock is nearly three
miles long and about half a mile
broad on the eastern side the cliff Is
so steep that nothing but a mOnkey
can scale it. and there is colony
If monkeys living there. the only an
imals Of their kind living wild in
Europe.
The only possible approach to the
rock Is by land from the north, or
from the sea on the western side. As
viewed from the ocean the Rock Of
Gibraltar is impressive, strong. gloomy
and forbidding. But flowers grow about
the steep walls. The great Victoria
batteries, occasionally fired, are
screened and sheltered by acacia
blossoms. Here are concealed 1O0ton
guns. sinister, threatening. The north
and northwest sides are honeycombed
by Notifications. There is a town and
harbor on the west, protected by bat
teries and forts rising from the base
to the summit Of the rock. Modern
guns of the most formidable pattern
frown from the heights. The town is
inhabited by a british colony Of about
5000 people. Everything Is under
strict military regulation.
