side of the Main Island forms an almost unbroken line of
precipitous cliffs about 1,400 ft. high, but which sink to
a much lower elevation in the north of the group. The
eastern side is cut up into many deep inlets, forming excel-
lent harbours, some of them advancing to within a few miles
of the western coast. The whole island is hilly. The lower
part of the island, especially on the eastern side, is mainly
covered with forest; the upper portion is composed of open
meadow or tussock. A Government steamer makes periodical
visits to the depots which have been established on the
islands for shipwrecked sailors.
