Most Beautiful Island

in the Empire.

Sandwiched between the twa: French Islands of Guadeloupe and Martiniqué lies "the most beautiful island in all our far-flung Empire. An island off whose northern shore on April 12, 1782, Admiral Rodney fought and won that great, naval "Battle of the Saints." and thereby pulled out of the fire those chestnuts which France and the American rebels had all but roasted.

Dominica, the third largest of our West Indian islands, is an almost sadeveloped country, and its forest élad mountain ranges and deep valleys-are-in-much-the-same-wild state us
