island - Corsica - is an interesting

OF the island. Down through the
ravines and ''creases' in these forest
covered mountains tumble a number
Of streams-none OF them large, but
each carrying TO the sea a stable
volume OF water.
Bastia is one Of the chief cities Of
Corsica. IL IS a sleepy old port
where the boats plying between the
island and the ports OF Italy and
France drop anchor to pick up their
loads Of native produce-largely olive
oil. fresh almonds and dried figs.
From here, n may take the comic
opera railroad 10 the other side OF
the island where Napoleon was born
at Ajaccio.
AS Il leaves Bastia, the little train
puffs and chugs up the mountain

almond trees and fig orchards. Al
