If the narrow space of its big bath-tub frets it, you do not perceive this, for hunger is its chief passion, and with a moderately full stomach the animal does well in captivity, of course with sufficient water.
The South Farallon is the only inhabited one of the group.

The remainder are smaller; mere rocky points sticking up out of the Pacific.

The Middle Farallon is a single rock, from fifty to sixty yards in diameter, and twenty or thirty feet above the water.

It lies two and a half miles north-west by west from the light-house.

The North Farallon consists, in fact, of four pyramidal rocks, whose highest peak, in the centre of the group, is one hundred and sixty feet high; the southern rock of the four is twenty feet high.
