The little coasting steamers and colo plat clippers which occasionally called at Safoly Islande In order to discharge provisions have now been warned off, and no vessel whatsoever is allowed to approach these islands nearer than a distance of fifteen cables. The Ile da Diable, headquarters of the penitenilary administration of Safety Lilands, was formerly leper wettle- ment, When Dreyfus was condemned to life impulsonment in a strong place Devil's Island was the only spot which it was thought would hold him with any degree al security. The lepers were therefore removed and a residence constructed for him. This residence is some what in the nature of a cage, the insermost depths of which can be viewed through a glau from the headquarters on Re Royale, where the Governor bag his residence.
