Text Appearing Before Image:
hipel : cest que le gouvernement britannique a fait choix decet ancien repaire de flibustiers pour y établir la capitale, qui est en mêmetemps lun des endroits le mieux placés pour devenir le principal marchémaritime des îles : lappât du commerce a groupé près de quinze millepersonnes sur cet étroit domaine. Nassau, appelée aussi New-Provi-dence, a plus de 5 mètres deau dans sa rade et les navires dun faibletonnage viennent samarrer à la rive. La ville est bâtie sur la côte septen-trionale de lîle, et serait par conséquent exposée à toute la violence delalizé, si une chaîne de récifs, dite Hog-island, « île des Porcs », ne pro-tégeait la rade contre la houle; cependant il est arrivé, lors des ouragans,qui bouleversent en moyenne ces parages tous les quatre ans, que les vaguesde la haute mer, précipitées par-dessus la digue naturelle, ont fait dériverles navires et les ont jetés à la côte. Pendant la guerre de Sécession, Nassau, 1 Powles, ouvrage cité.

Les navires, choisisparmi les plus agiles de la flotte commerciale dAngleterre, sortaient de ouest de la ri; 7942 79-4i-
