CHAPTER III
168/197

At the bottom of these steps, there is a broad platform of solid rock, where one may stand securely, and hear the waves breaking around him like heavy thunders.

Through the fissures we could see the foam and spray mingling with the blue of the ocean, and flashing in the sunshine.

To the right, between the largest rock and the main land, there is a chamber of about ten feet wide, and twenty feet long.
The fragment, which forms one of its sides, leans towards the main rock, and touches it at top, forming a roof, with here and there a fissure, through which the light enters.

At the bottom of the room there is a clear bed of water, which communicates with the sea by a small aperture under the rock.

It is as placid as a summer pond, and is fitted with steps for a bathing place.
