It affords abun- dance of fish and turtle, and has been granted for the use of an inhabitant of Mauritius, but is not yet permanently occupied. Southward of this isle, a reef has risen up into an island greater than Alphonse proper, and threatens to unite itself to the latter ; but there is still a passage, though it is dangerous and intricate, and the currents are strong and uncertain. A reef of breakers surrounds ...South Alphonse. Providence, in lat. 9 10' 30" south, and long. 51 4|' east, is upwards of eight hundred miles north-north-east and a half west of Mauritius. It is two miles long by one broad, is low, and water is procured by digging in the sand. There is an anchorage on the west side, but it is on uneven ground, sand, and coral. The north part of the island is covered with cocoa-nut trees, and the south with a spongy tree, like the fig, and growing forty or fifty feet high. Turtle are plentiful, and a species of lobster called the " seapoy, " as well as land crabs of large size, which are considered palatable and wholesome food.
