Corrected minor typos and ensured the output is in the requested HTML format. Note that "ace island" might be a typo or OCR error for "auxiliary island" or another geographical name, but it is left as is according to the rule not to rephrase or rewrite the original text unless it's an unambiguous spelling correction or spacing fix. Similarly, "fautor" is likely an error but is preserved as per the instructions. "Juve" is likely "June". The dates and names are corrected or left as is based on the context and the rules.
