The Marine Aquarium is most interesting.

The roads are good and not a motor-car in the land! The islands are composed solely of coralline limestone.

It can be quarried almost anywhere.

Blasting is not necessary, the stone being so soft that it can be sawn out in blocks of any size to meet the architect's needs.

It is beautifully white and hardens after exposure.
After staying two weeks I returned to New York and took passage to Cherbourg, crossed France to Lausanne, saw some friends and then went on to St Moritz, which we all know is so famous for its wonderful winter climate, intensely cold but clear skies and bright sunshine.
